L'un des thèmes les plus controversés à propos du personnage de Socrate est celui de la crédibilité de son ignorance. En effet, il est bien connu que d'une part, Socrate clame sans cesse que sa seule connaissance est la certitude de son ignorance, alors que d'autre part, il donne l'impression d'un joueur d'échec en mesure de prévoir de façon extrêmement précise le déroulement de la partie. Cette question de l'ignorance socratique est fort importante, car elle concerne la valeur attribuée à l'ouverture de la discussion, c'est-à-dire à l'absence de conclusions préalablement fixées. 2, record 1, French, - ignorance%20socratique
