Socrates’ Pedagogical Methods in his Geometry Lesson to the Slave-Boy
The paper examines Socrates’ teaching methods and their effect on the slave-boy’s learning in the famous geometry lesson in Plato’s Meno . A detailed presentation and, at times, an interpretation of the different stages comprising the lesson will be followed by a critical analysis of the teaching approaches employed by Socrates along the lesson and their corollaries on the learning process of the slave-boy. The exploration highlights numerous mer…
Is it moral to punish a criminal both during his lifetime and posthumously
We seek to probe into the question of whether it is moral to administer a punishment on a criminal both in his lifetime and posthumously. Is it moral to punish a murderer both during his lifetime by sentencing him, for instance, to life imprisonment, and posthumously—let us assume—by burial in a separate section of the cemetery exclusively assigned for murderers, which would perpetuate their ignominy? We consider that a discussion of this crux mi…
A Critical Examination of Socrates’ Geometry Lesson
The paper focuses exclusively on the famous geometry lesson given by Socrates to the slave-boy in Plato’s Meno , providing an in-depth analysis that emphasizes the pedagogical aspects of the lesson. This approach allows for an examination of the lesson that teachers, educators and students alike—regardless of their interest in the philosophical ideas brought up in the Meno —will be able to understand and find helpful. The paper aims to contribute…

Reid’s Philosophy of Relative and Distinct Conceptions
Reid's discernment between a ‘relative’ and a ‘distinct’ conception plays a significant role in his theory of secondary and primary qualities and in his postulations on ‘instinctive’ and ‘rational’ aesthetic perceptions. However, relative conceptions and, hence, the relative/distinct conception discernment, are absent from one model of aesthetic perception which Reid endorses, as well as from his theory of ‘moral approbation’. This paper aims (1)…
Rousseau and Emile
In Emile, Rousseau advances significant ideas about language, language learning and teaching: He posits a universal natural language that develops as the child matures; focuses on ‘private’ words invented by children, on the challenge facing children in their understanding of exceptions to general rules of the mother tongue and on recommended methods of teaching the mother tongue. The paper explores these notions, which feature at the end of Book…
Reid's Primary/Secondary Quality Distinction in a Broad Context
The paper focuses on Reid's unique epistemological distinction between the primary and the secondary qualities and examines it in relation to other facets of his philosophy: his stance vis-à-vis the scientific inquiries of secondary qualities; his aesthetics; his analysis of the perception of the primary quality of hardness; his theory of learning. An inquiry into the primary/secondary distinction which takes into account such a broad context wil…
Reid's Principle of Credulity as a Principle of Charity
Reid's principle of credulity may be interpreted as equivalent to a principle of charity, due to the nature of three beliefs it implies concerning the interlocutors, which are held by the person who attempts to acquire their language: (1) They are telling truth in the sense that they are saying what they really think, perceive, feel, believe; (2) they are veracious in the sense that what they say is objectively true; (3) they use language consist…
Reid, Hardness and Developmental Psychology
I suggest two main ways of interpreting Reid's analysis of the perception of the quality of hardness: (1) Reid endorses two distinct concepts of hardness. The distinction between the two lies in a profoundly different relation between the sensation of hardness and the concept of hardness in each of them. The first concept, which I term as a “sensation-laden concept”, is “the quality that arises in us the sensation of hardness.” The second concept…
