Description
The emphasis on dialogue and the love of learning, central to Plato’s iconic protagonist Socrates, is dispersed throughout American philosophy. From the oratory and writing of Martin Luther King, Jr. to the central tenets of Charles S. Peirce’s pragmatism, Socrates’ insistence on perpetuating knowledge through dialogue and inquiry is an integral component of American philosophy with enduring socio-political significance.
