 * Questions for ION Due Typed Thursday 09/30/10 ||
 * ===== Socrates criticizes Ion for being able to speak with seeming knowledge about Homer, but not about any other poets. Find the passages where Socrates alleges this defect in Ion's understanding. What seems to be the basis for Socrates' criticism? Is there something defective about all of Ion's knowledge, including his seeming knowledge about Homer? What is defective about this knowledge? =====

=
Socrates and Ion seem to agree that rhapsodes, poets, and their audiences are not in their "right minds." (See #74) What do they seem to mean by this? For Socrates, is this an indication of what's wrong with the arts? Do you agree that the arts are "emotional" or "irrational"? What other language does Socrates use to convey this idea? Do you agree with Socrates that this is a defect of the arts?=====

=
Socrates sketches a hierarchy of knowledge in which the knowledge of the rhapsode or the poet is always inferior to the knowledge of other practitioners. What is the basis for his argument? Do you agree that the knowledge of the artist is always inferior? How would you answer Socrates' argument?===== ||
