ws859c71j44	Evan Schultz	Self-Knowledge in Plato's Apology and Charmides	2021		.txt	text/plain	325	8	42	In Chapter 1, I use the Apology to sketch an outline of Socratic philosophy, and argue that Socrates' so-called human wisdom—what is therein portrayed as something at the center of the sort of examined life Socrates evangelizes throughout the dialogues—is a complex form of self-knowledge. In Chapter 2, I explore how Socrates' method induces this self-knowledge in others—specifically, I argue that his portrait of it in the first half of the Charmides, wherein Socrates compares himself to a therapist or doctor of the whole soul, indicates that Socrates conceives of his practice as having the power to generate in his interlocutors positive progress with respect to self-knowledge.	cache/ws859c71j44.txt	txt/ws859c71j44.txt
