Socratic paradox explained
The term Socratic paradox may be used to refer to several seemingly paradoxical claims made by the philosopher Socrates:
- I know that I know nothing, a saying which is sometimes (somewhat inaccurately) attributed to Socrates
- Socratic intellectualism, the view that nobody ever knowingly does wrong
- Socratic fallacy, the view that using a word meaningfully requires being able to give an explicit definition of it
