In Response to Force, Rhetoric, and the Apology (with links)

Powerful nuance stems from examining the implicature of texts, not just their literal content (the moral selection of  their timing in context, the things which they leave out, the ways they direct the reader to be different in order to understand them). Plato’s Socrates seems to anticipate this turn in modern philosophy at times, when he chases truth as understood by himself/his audience and not logic alone on its own structural plane.
