ソクラテスと無知の「思い」

プラトン『カルミデス』の「思慮とは何か」という問い

抄録

Intellectualism which regards virtue as knowledge and "knowledge of one's own ignorance" are generally characterized as Socratic philosophy described in the early dialogues. Socrates in the Charmides searches after what is prudence (sophrosune), and fails in his inquiry. Most commentators of the dialogue have premised Socratic intellectualism or "knowledge of his own ignorance", or rather, they have never denied the premise. Plato, however, does not write all his works in the same way.
I think it is necessary to consider the stage settings Plato carefully prepares and the nature of the question of what is sophrosune. My interpretation shows an answer to the question of what is sophrosune, which also denies the mark uniform in the early dialogues, that is, Socratic intellectualism and "knowledge of his own ignorance".
Socrates is described as being quite beside himself when seeing the beauty of Char-mides. He does not know himself and does not embody self-knowledge. The question of what is sophrosune demands not knowledge but opinion (doxa). "Ignorance of one's own ignorance", "knowledge of one's own ignorance", and "opinion of one's own ignorance" are different one another. It is opinion that one does not know what one does not know that the dialogue suggests as sophrosune.
