Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 2008.

Socrates says "I go about doing nothing other than persuading ( peithon) you...to care that your soul be best" (Apol. 30a), but, puzzlingly, Plato depicts him as always criticizing the Athenian use of persuasion to get people to do what the speaker wants. How can Socrates call his philosophical activity---what many now call "elenchus"---"persuasion"? I argue that Socrates' use of persuasion differs from others not by its avoidance of emotional appeal, rhetorical figures, lengthy speech, or use of inferences from bad premises---all common views. Nor is it specially redeemed by its concern for truth or ideal forms. Socrates' persuasion differs on the basis of the decision to which it means to bring its audience.

520 $a Socrates says "I go about doing nothing other than persuading ( peithon) you...to care that your soul be best" (Apol. 30a), but, puzzlingly, Plato depicts him as always criticizing the Athenian use of persuasion to get people to do what the speaker wants. How can Socrates call his philosophical activity---what many now call "elenchus"---"persuasion"? I argue that Socrates' use of persuasion differs from others not by its avoidance of emotional appeal, rhetorical figures, lengthy speech, or use of inferences from bad premises---all common views. Nor is it specially redeemed by its concern for truth or ideal forms. Socrates' persuasion differs on the basis of the decision to which it means to bring its audience.
520 $a Persuasion reminds an audience that it has reasons to decide to act as the speaker wishes. In democracies such actions include voting for some law or acquitting some defendant. The motivating reasons to decide are sometimes good, but are often ungrounded or inconsistent with others a person has.
520 $a Aware of both the importance and the hazards of persuasion, Socrates' conversations aim to persuade his interlocutors to decide to examine themselves to rework, in effect, their decision-making abilities. He persuades them of this by having them see, on the basis of their present beliefs, that they're confused about the matters about which they take themselves to be most expert. Their confusion can prevent them from deciding matters with due caution; they may come, unknowingly, to do injustice.
520 $a Socrates' preemptive persuasion could interfere with good citizenship if it demanded of everyone endlessly to defer or delegate their practical decision-making. Yet, I argue, Plato depicts Socrates as recommending self-examination during times of leisure. Athenian democracy is vindicated by this leisure, and it is the way philosophy and politics may coincide.
520 $a To introduce Socrates' persuasive method and his concern with checking one's competence to persuade and be persuaded, this essay reads Laches closely. After analyzing persuasion and expanding the above argument, it goes on to consider Socrates' self-description in Apology. It presents Crito and Phaedrus as potential counter-examples to the view. It ends with a schematic of Socratic persuasion.
