Answer:

We can best infer that Sickles had good lawyers because:

C) He used the very first temporary insanity defense.

Explanation:

This question refers to Daniel Edgar Sickles, an American soldier and politician who, in 1859, short to death his wife's lover. Sickles was an influential and well-connected man. He received several visits from important people while in jail, and <u>made sure to secure very capable and efficient people as his lawyers. As a matter of fact, it was in his trial that "temporary insanity" was used for the first time in history. According to his lawyers, Sickle had temporarily lost his mind due to the rage of finding out his wife was having an affair. Therefore, he was not himself when he shot her lover to death. His lawyers also made sure to leak certain information to newspapers and get everybody talking about the case as tactics to ensure the result they wanted. They were successful and Sickles was acquitted.</u>

In at least 150 words, describe Socrates' philosophical method, how it works, and what type of knowledge is attained
MAVERICK [17]

Answer: The Elenchus

Explanation: Socrates' method of philosophy is most commonly known as The Elenchus or the dialectical method. Knowledge gained from this method was considered by Aristotle to be 'dialectical knowledge'. Dialectical knowledge was said to form the boundary between the theoretical and the practical aspects of knowledge.

The method of the Elenchus was (and still is, I assume), the following:

1. Raise the most important question (a kind of 'theory' or later 'thesis').

2. Investigate the question thoroughly to make sure that the very best answer is reached, by raising further questions, answering each of them ("they being smaller questions, it will be easier to answer them" --- paraphrasing Plato)

3. At the conclusion of the inquiry, to declare if the problem is solved, and if so, in what way of definition.

4. To continue philosophizing.

However, in Athens, Socrates' particular application of the Elenchus earned him the reputation of a 'gadfly' --- someone who perhaps didn't have the best good in mind (although, according to Plato, Socrates was always a helpful person, and didn't ask for any payments).
