Socratic paradox
The term Socratic paradox may to refer to several seemingly paradoxical claims made by the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates:
- I know that I know nothing, a saying that is sometimes (somewhat inaccurately) attributed to Socrates
- Socratic fallacy, the view that using a word meaningfully requires being able to give an explicit definition of it
- Socratic intellectualism, the view that nobody ever knowingly does wrong
