Laughing to Learn: Irony in the Republic as Pedagogy
Polis 28 (2):235-49 (2011)
Abstract
[Condensed abstract] Socrates' ironic use of 'makaria' (blessedness) in the Republic exhorts Glaucon to think more critically. Certain features of the supposedly ideal city, motivated by Glaucon's character, may be protreptic for Glaucon to practice philosophical courage and intellectual moderation.Author's Profile
