Perspective and Not Knowing

[image error] The following is a paper I did for my Philosophy class in Junior College. I got an A on it and it is an interesting read. Enjoy!

During his trial, Socrates said, "The only true wisdom consists in knowing that you know nothing." This is somewhat of a circular statement that denies itself, for if you know that you know nothing, then you know something. If you know nothing, then you cannot know that you know nothing, for you know nothing.

Maybe the word "know" needs defining. The Random House...
