SOCRATES AND KNOWLEDGE-BASED SOCIETY, OR RURAL TRACE IN THE DIALOGUE CULTURE

Asta Steikūnienė, Edvardas Čiuldė

Abstract


Knowledge is the engine of change in every society, and within this structure, training of philosophical perception is essential. This article analyses how modern philosophical education is compatible with the ideal of knowledge society – how teaching material changes when knowledge becomes a commodity. The article searches for parallels between the opposition among the sophists and Socrates and the modern day approach to fostering a culture of dialogue, focusing on knowledge and innovation society.

Keywords: knowledge, dialogue, sophistry, creativity, self-conscious, Socrates.
