2. Written Assignment for MODULE 2 The Greeks and Philosophy
This assignment has three parts A, B and C. Be sure to answer all three parts:
Philosophy emerges amongst the Greeks in its fullest form in the works of Plato. What was philosophy to Plato? Plato describes the manner for doing philosophy as involving a dialectical process of thought. Describe that process. Plato wrote dialogues rather than essays so that he could show people how philosophy was done. He learned the methodology form Socrates and so he attempts to show us what he saw and thus we could learn as he learned. Cite any passages where he is advising people on the method for thinking (some are given below) that he is demonstrating in the dialogues. What does the process involve? While he shows the method in all his dialogues he gets specific in a few of them, including the PHAEDO and the REPUBLIC where he speaks of arguments, argumentation and the dialectical process. These are the passages that are supplied in the link below.
RUBRIC for GRADING this Assignment which has three (3) parts:
Part A. Reading comprehension
Use the seven (7) PASSAGES (<click here) supplied at this webpage PASSAGES (<click here) and cite where Plato speaks ABOUT Philosophy. Copy and paste the exact words from each of the seven passages using quotation marks and the source citation for the exact passages where Plato describes what Philosophy is about and how to do Philosophy. Passages for Part I. What was philosophy to Plato? Describe the process. What does the process involve?
Click on this link PASSAGES (<click here) and you will find where I supply the seven (7) most pertinent passages that describe the Dialectical Process of Inquiry that Plato identifies with the process of Philosophical thinking.
You should quote the exact lines that indicate what Plato thought Philosophy was and how to go about doing it. The basic idea is to take the excerpts from the passages that provide a description of the dialectical process of thought that for PLATO was Philosophy- a method for thinking.
Part B. Understanding the source materials
Find at least two passages in the dialogues that were covered in this module where Plato shows Socrates entering into the dialectical process of Philosophy. Copy and paste the passages using quotation marks and cite the source dialogue. You find 2 passages where Socrates is exchanging questions and answers with someone on a topic, issue or question.
Where do you find these passages? Find them in any of these dialogues: ION EUTHYPHRO APOLOGY CRITO PHAEDO REPUBLIC SYMPOSIUM
DO NOT USE THE SEVEN (7) PASSAGES SUPPLIED ABOVE IN PART A THAT DESCRIBE DIALECTICS!!!! Those passage are not demonstrations of the process but are descriptions of it.
How long do they need to be? Not the entire dialogue !! Just submit a passage long enough to see the back and forth of the question and answer process by which Socrates leads his audience to some point of clarity or some position on an issue. To show how one goes about doing it you should quote the exact lines or the passages in the dialogues where Plato has Socrates interact with others using the dialectical methods of philosophy.
DO NOT RELATE ALL OF THE NICE IDEAS OF PLATO be specific as to the idea of what Philosophy itself actually is.
DO NOT USE THE SEVEN (7) PASSAGES SUPPLIED ABOVE IN PART A THAT DESCRIBE DIALECTICS!!!! Those passage are not demonstrations of the process but are descriptions of it.
Part C. Critical thinking
In your own words describe how philosophy is done according to Plato. What does one do when doing philosophy? Be somewhat extensive in describing the exact process. Do not describe what it is good for or what you think about it. Describe exactly what philosophy is for Plato. This means that you should describe what the dialectical process of thinking is and its steps. Take the seven passages in Part A above and put them into your own words in a single description of the process of inquiry known as Philosophy.Please indicate your familiarity with the readings in your answer -this means use some quotations to support your answers.
