We talked today at length of Seigel's concept of epistemological inclusion, or rather, his distinction between the soundness of conclusions of any epistemological framework and the morality of inclusion/exclusion.
After Greg's evocation of Socrates, I thought it interesting that, with respect to inclusion, Socrates is an exemplary model. Moreover, Seigel specifically cites Socrates and the Socratic tradition and search for truth as his idea of philosophy--it seems as though the symbol of the epistemologically driven tradition was also the same person who talked to everyone, regardless of class or social status, about the truth, or at least in search of it.
