In what is considered one of Plato's earliest accounts, we meet a very intriguing man known as Socrates; a man, whose ambition to seek knowledge, inevitably leaves a significant impact on humanity. Above all, it is the methodologies for obtaining this knowledge that make it so fascinating. This methodology is called Socratic irony in literature. In any case, I will introduce the thesis that Plato's Euthyphro is extremely indicative of this type of methodology, for the reason that: Socrates' portrays a sense of intellectual humility. I will begin by imposing the distinction between Socratic irony and that which is more familiar. As mentioned in the previous section. Basic irony is simply implied when an attempt is made to convey a meaning opposite to its literal meaning; In contrast, Socratic irony is usually implemented in dialectical conversations, where the individual with evidential insight masquerades as ignorant for the purpose of simply gaining more knowledge or validating a point. Having now segregated both forms of irony, it is evident that the two are quite dissimilar. In Plato's dialogue Euthyphro which is the basis of my thesis, Socrates is illegally accused of false and inaccurate accusations, however, on his way to court he meets an arrogant and… figure known as Euthyphro. Socrates shares this dilemma with Euthyphro with the goal of gaining greater understanding of the matter he is being prosecuted for, because Euthyphro presented himself as a man full of knowledge and wisdom. However, simply by asking questions, Socrates is able to persuade Euthyphro to rethink and reconstruct his initial ideas. Euthyphro initially suggests pie...... middle of paper ......ny, it follows that Socrates accusing Euthyphro of being his teacher portrays an aspect of Socratic irony. By the same reasoning as the Socratic irony above, it is immensely effective. Consequently, in Plato's Euthyphro, our acquaintance with Socrates is immensely beneficial to society, as we gain awareness of such an innovative method of achieving intuition. The Socratic approach is now a fundamental approach implemented in everyday conversation in society. Furthermore, not only is Socrates able to verify that the true researchers are the wise; it also validates the idea that the answers to many questions are simply questions. Simply because life is so debated that some topics start to intertwine. To summarize, Plato's Euthyphro is extremely indicative of this Socratic irony, for the reason that: Socrates' portrays a sense of intellectual humility.
