I am pain-stakingly translating the french text from this website, which has the W/ARE logo at the bottom, using Google Translate without the use of copy/paste since my PS4 can’t do that. http://www.philojeux.com
The tablets of Mnemosyne
Philo Game
You: But I already know all that (everything)!
Socrates: Let’s say that these tablets are a present of Mnemosyne mother of the muses, and all we want to remember, between all the things we have or seen or heard or thought of ourselves, we print it as if with a stamp, always holding these tablets ready to receive our sensations and our reflections: that we remember and know everything that was imprinted on it, as long as the image remains; and that when it is erased, or that it has not been possible for it to be graver, we forget it, and we do not know it.
- But it’s completely stupid
- Or…
- It would follow that what we know, we knew and did not know at the same time?
