The Intervention of Listeners Sample Clauses

The Intervention of Listeners. Xxxxxxxx’ decision to leave the conversation initiates an important episode. Once their listeners, including some sophists, see that the conversation would come to an end, they decide to intervene. This intervention provides significant insights for the Protagoras’ meta-dialogical and metaphilosophical aspect in the sense that the intervention presents norms for productive communication and of manners of debate. Productive communication is required, for if one cannot understand another because of the lack of communication, there is no reason for carrying on discussions.

A confirmation coming from such adversaries might provide additional warrant. In this respect, an agreement might provide strong support for Xxxxxxxx’ position, of course, if it is a sincere agreement in favour of Xxxxxxxx. I say sincere because I do not think that Xxxxxxxx is trying to deceive Protagoras. 95 Prot. 361c2-3. 96 Prot. 336d7-e4. group’s intervention as the proposal presented in the Protagoras comes from them. Now, I would like to outline the structure of intervention: [1] The listeners ‘should not take sides (336e2 οὐδὲν δεῖ συμφιλονικεῖν)’, rather they should encourage the discussants not ‘to dissolve the conversation in the middle (336e3 μὴ μεταξὺ διαλῦσαι τὴν συνουσίαν)’. The idea that there is a midpoint of the conversation seems to suggest that there is a goal of the conversation. If so, consider...
