Open Mind Q4

Socrates points out that (1) sometimes we think about something as perceived through several senses simultaneously or sequentially and, relatedly, that (2) we think about features of things such as their sameness, difference, and number. What human faculty does he think this establishes the existence of?

Cannot be perception

Must be (not a single perception but) a combination of perceptions

Must be a perception that is more reliable than other perceptions

Must be the sort of perception appropriate to the item being known (vision for a visible thing, and so on)

In "Against Persuasion," we find the claim that Facebook and Twitter show Socrates' legacy because:

People prioritize the mass consumption of arguments over deep scrutiny of any of them

People know to dismiss the views of ordinary people

People instinctively organize themselves into the knower and objector roles

People resort to unilateral persuasion when they can't resolve an argument

For Callard (in "Persuade or Be Persuaded"), the politically relevant aspect of Socrates' legacy is that claims about political topics:

Call for more toleration than claims about abstract, theoretical topics

Call for less toleration than claims about abstract, theoretical topics

Are, uniquely, intertwined with an inviolable right of freedom of thought

Are on an epistemic par with claims about any other topic
