Your videos are so useful, even though english is no my native language you make philosophy easier to understand. Thank you so much, you made learning English worth it.
thank you. Perhaps we are ignorant of anything that we are not experts in, and to habitually transfer competence in one domain into another is arrogance, conscious or not. Or perhaps there are no separate matters of disciplined studies, but each discipline is an abstraction of the matter, and two possible abstractions are possible. The human body can be seen from an ethical or physics-cal , or even economical framework. To give exclusive primacy to any one framework is to exclude knowledge that another domain may have.
It's more the latter -- different "knowledges" involve different ways of looking at matters. And, there are clearly overlaps between areas of knowledge -- something Plato is having Socrates rule out here, perhaps not really committing himself to that though
Socrates: So, Ion, there is no greater rhapsode than you in all of Greece? Ion: That's the one thing I'll never deny! Socrates: And rhapsody, do you recon, is it an art just like poetry or medicine? Ion: Of course! Socrates: And having mastery of an art is the same as being knowledgeable in it? Ion: Sure thing! Socrates: And good judgement about an art is a judgement done with knowledge of that art? Ion: That's right! Socrates: So these Epidaurians who judged you worthy of the first prize in the contest for rhapsodes, they must be your match in the art of rhapsody, each and every one of them? Ion: Certainl... wait, what!?
