Plato, The Ion - Do Poets Possess Knowledge? - Sadler's Lectures

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher Plato's dialogue, the Ion, during which Socrates questions Ion, a rhapsode, about his art. It focuses specifically on the question whether poets (or their interpreters, the rhapsodes) really possess knowledge about the matters they write and speak about in their works.
