About Socrethics
Name
Socrethics is a catenation of Socrates and ethics and refers to the Socratic Way of Thinking. Socratic philosophizing is a seeking of truth, as opposed to proclaiming the truth.
Purpose
The topic of the Socrethics papers is an examination of the Buddhist Truths. In the tradition of Socrates the Buddhist Truths are considered as theses, which are open to falsification: see Socrethics Introduction. The wider context is a comparison of critical and doctrinaire thinking; see The Teachings of Philosophy [German]
Affiliation
Socrethics is connected to the ETH Chair for Philosophy:
- It was inspired by a research project on the history of Therapeutic Philosophy.
- It is represented on the internet portal for Wisdom Literature and Practices.
