The Peloponnesian War, the Spanish Requirement and the Clash of Civilizations: An Application of Plato's Theaetetus

This paper applies a unique reading of Plato's Theaetetus to problems of modern political violence. Theateteus' exploration of knowledge in his philosophical "birthings" under Socrates' midwifery reveals the elusiveness of human definitions of such crucial terms as justice. This leads them to the Protagorean dilemma, that when definitions are elusive, anyone and any state can name things "just" as they see them. The danger is then considered in relation to the ostensibly clear and distinct term "civilization" to explore whether we are right in our intuition that this is an unambiguously good thing.
