Hi Ken,
You wrote, 'The "doxa" root does not refer to teaching. The Greek root
"doxa" refers to opinions. For example, the word "orthodoxy" comes from
Greek root words meaning "right opinion." According to the OED, the word
"orthodoxy" means "1. The quality or character of being orthodox; belief in
or agreement with doctrines, opinions, or practices currently held to be
right or correct, esp. in religious matters. 2. a. The body of opinions,
doctrines, or beliefs held to be orthodox by a particular religion, society,
or group. b. An orthodox opinion or belief." Another word, "doxastic" means
"Of or pertaining to opinion; depending on or exercising opinion."'
Great! Thanks for the correction.
It also appears Socrates Theaetatus offers a slightly different
interpretation that links more with self-constructed internal critical
dialogue leading to a position that would be similar to episteme ( or in
science something similar to self-construction of knowledge).
All the best,
Terry
