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. It therefore is not even theoretically possible to agree. I say theoretically because the Protagoras, as we shall see, did not end up with an agreement, but with a ‘terrible confusion’.95 That said, in the same section, it is also underlined that if Xxxxxxxx and Protagoras would keep on talking and examining, it is still theoretically possible to agree in the future, although they cannot find an agreement that makes them both happy. In other words, if we can communicate successfully, it is theoretically possible to reach an agreement. The listeners, however, are divided on the issue of the style of speech: whether Protagoras should compromise or should not accept the standards imposed on him. Xxxxxxxxxx supports Xxxxxxxx’ demand of brief speeches, Xxxxxxx backs Xxxxxxxxxx’ uncompromising position and Critias, Xxxxxxx and Prodicus remain somewhat neutral in this conflicting situation. 96 Xxxxx seems to show approval for the last 94 Long (2015, 34) rightly emphasizes that those whom we debate should confirm our discoveries, especially if they are strong and experienced adversaries. 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...
