My guess, now, is that our dispute is mainly verbal (e.g. I agree with everything you say in your first footnote which I found very helpful).<br />I suppose if there is a difference between us it may be that that I use terms like 'Socratic', 'Wittgensteinian' etc. more loosely than you (on the grounds that if something is inspired by X and contains some resemblance to it it may reasonably be called Xian even if X would not agree with it).Anyhow, I'd suggested you as a potential respondant because I thought you had some very interesting things to say about Rowe's paper on Plato and Witt. in an earlier blog and am glad that you agreed to do it.<br /><br />The term ‘antiquarian’ is Anthony Kenny's (a master blender of contextualist and analytic history of philosophy; I agree that the ideal is to mix both when one can).<br /><br />Thanks for the reference to Meno 72b–d, which I'd failed to recollect!<br /><br />All best wishes, Constantinemrbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13254121301869205808noreply@blogger.com
