Sommario/riassunto

An independent print-media practitioner, He Hao has been working with distinctive and representative artists in the Chinese contemporary art world, including Ai Weiwei, Xu Bing, etc., and designed more than 100 high-quality books and catalogs since 2003. Recording the current state of art development in China, his works have become an archive of significance. He Hao's practice shows an Asian trend in today's graphic design: the replacement of transplanted Modernism with a contemporaneity informed by the culture and lifestyle of contemporary China and the East.

Nota di contenuto

Introduction: Participating in disillusion and renewal -- Who can teach us? And what can they teach us? Socrates recounts his conversations in the Protagoras -- The poverty of Socratic questioning : asking and answering in the Meno -- The labor of Socratic inquiry : learning in the Theaetetus to give an account of oneself -- Learning to find ourselves at a loss : how does philosophy begin? -- Epilogue: Realities of the classroom.

Sommario/riassunto

Bitter Knowledge examines the Socratic method in three fundamental Platonic dialogues, Protagoras, Meno, and Theaetetus, contending that the method is really a cyclical one of disillusionment and renewal.
