I know the definition of good, so there for I will always do good, according to Socrates and last class.
Furthermore, what if i did not know the definition of "brother" could I ever be a brother? Well clearly i am a brother because I have two male siblings, the point is when does this "way of thinking" become extreme. Just because I do not know the "correct" definition of a word (emphasis on "the"" does that make me incapable of fulfilling that word (good, bad, smart, tall, etc.)
Socrates and his thoughts on definitions is ridiculous. If you asked a person who could not understand any language what is a human and they couldn't tell you, does that make them not a human?
Where is the line drawn.
