Anthony, Thank you for the response, Interesting how both the Zen approach and the Socratic approach aim for similar ends using similar techniques.I understand, per the Phaedrus that Socratic method is more along the lines of the ability to argue pros and cons to arrive at a new understanding of the question and the exposition of prejudices rather than an actual answer to it.
Perhaps I over reach. One wonders at the symbolism in Plato's Phaedrus where the discusion takes place by a stream under a plane tree and a chaste tree, an indiginous Greek tree and one indiginous of the east. Many thanks, and in fact it does change how one interprets his work. Best wishes -Ron Hows that Marsha? ________________________________ From: MarshaV <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, June 17, 2009 11:13:34 AM Subject: Re: [MD] Pirsig and Socratic method (a question for Ant) Yep, this post is unreadable...
