Ideas of Lycophron, by Text

[Greek, 440 - 380 BCE, Born in Athens. A sophist, taught by Gorgias.]

375BCE

fragments/reports

	p.250	604	Knowledge is mind and knowing 'cohabiting'
			Full Idea: Lycophron has it that knowledge is the 'cohabitation' (rather than participation or synthesis) of knowing and the soul.
			From: report of Lycophron (fragments/reports [c.375 BCE]) by Aristotle - Metaphysics 1045b
			A reaction: This sounds like a rather passive and inert relationship. Presumably knowing something implies the possibility of acting on it.
