I Know Nothing (Argument) - Deepstash

I Know Nothing (Argument)

Premise 1: Socrates claims to have wisdom in that he recognizes his own ignorance.

Premise 2: He conducted investigations into those considered wise in various fields (politicians, poets, craftsmen) and found that they professed knowledge they did not truly possess.

Premise 3: Socrates asserts that the recognition of one's own ignorance is a form of wisdom superior to the false knowledge of others.

Conclusion: Thus, Socrates justifies his claim of knowing nothing by arguing that his awareness of his own ignorance makes him wiser than those who falsely believe they possess knowledge.
