I didn’t mean to cause a mess by my poor articulation of someone’s argument I don’t fully understand. Socrates’ fundamental concern in the dialogues starts with what virtue is, or the good life. Thinking through that is the important first step. This was all secondary.
How do you confirm for yourself that your understanding of the good life for man is the best available understanding. The rest depends on the first “understanding,” what it’s character is, and from that, how do you confirm it insofar as it is confirmable.
It seems to me that one needs to understand that primary concern and where that leads before getting into the secondary “confirmation”
nonsense I got into tonight. We can’t know how to go about confirming what we don’t know we want to confirm.

In other words, I regret speaking especially about secondary concerns. Sorry!
