Sokrates about Knowledge: Similarity and Differences by Xenophon and Plato

Avtorica je v tem diplomskem delu želela predstaviti vire, ki so pisali o Sokratu, saj Sokrat sam ničesar ni zapisal. Izbrala je dva od njih, Sokratova učenca Ksenofonta in Platona, ter predstavila, kaj je Sokrat učil o vednosti in modrosti pri njima. Medsebojno je primerjala Ksenofontovega in Platonovega Sokrata, izpostavila podobnosti in razlike ter predstavila argumente v povezavi z vednostjo in modrostjo. Navedla je dva Sokratova paradoksa in podala Santasovo podporo le-temu. Pri diplomskem delu so bile uporabljene deskriptivna metoda, metoda komparacije, analize in sinteze. Ob tem je avtorica prišla do spoznanja, da se vednost pri Sokratu deli na človeku in bogovom dosegljivo. Najpomembnejša človeku dosegljiva vednost je vednost o dobrem in slabem ter ravnanju, ki izhaja iz te vednosti. Za Sokrata je ta vednost najpomembnejša, ker ravnanje v skladu s pravičnim in dobrim prinaša modrost ter srečo. Nasprotno so ljudje, ki ravnajo krivično, najnesrečnejši, ker je posledica krivičnega ravnanja ta, da imajo zlo v duši. Le-tega se lahko rešijo s pravično kaznijo. Ljudje, ki so pravični in nimajo zla v duši, lahko po smrti odidejo na Otoke blaženih. V tem diplomskem delu sta bili obe hipotezi potrjeni. Izkazalo se je, da definicija vednosti ni mogoča in da iz vedenja o tem, kaj je pravično in dobro, ne sledi, da bodo ljudje pravično ravnali, čeprav Sokrat navaja dobre argumente v prid le-temu.Due to the fact that Socrates himself didn\u27t leave any written records, in the diploma, the author of the text wanted to present sources of Socrates\u27s teachings written by his followers. Accordingly, works of two followers, Xenophon and Plato, were chosen. The research dealt with their understanding of knowledge and wisdom as thought by Socrates. Furthermore Xenophon\u27s and Plato\u27s view of Socrates is compared. Highlighted are also similarities and differences as well as the arguments both authors presented referring to the notion of knowledge and wisdom. In the diploma two of Socrates\u27s paradoxes were also defined and supported by Santasos\u27s arguments. In the research, the following methods have been used descriptive and comparative method, analysis and synthesis. The results have shown that according to Socrates\u27s teaching knowledge can be divided to human and God achievable. The most important of human achievable knowledge is the knowledge of good and evil, because handling accordingly brings wisdom and happiness. On the contrary, human who act unjustly, are most unhappy. The reason of the unjust conduct is the evil in human soul. This can be remedied with the just punishment. Humans who are just and don\u27t carry evil in their soul will spend their life after death on the Island of the Blessed. In the diploma both hypotheses have been confirmed. The results of the research have shown, that the notion of knowledge is not possible to define. Also, just handling doesn\u27t result from knowledge about good and evil, although Socrates states good arguments that it does
