All I know is that I know nothing
Socrates, Of course this is a contradiction as at least Socrates claims to know one thing. Similar but opposite is the statement “I don't know what I don't know”. A better statement by him is “At any rate it seems that I am wiser than he is to this small extent, that I do not think that I know what I do not know.” According to Luciano De Crescenzo a method of the positive negation to approach truth (or God) with logic: “Can you provide a proof of Gods existence? No! Can you provide a proof of Gods non-existence? No! Then you say that there is something that you do not know? Yes! Then call this thing simply “God”. And what if I just call it the “Thing” that I do not know? It does not matter it is the same thing.” De Crescenzo says that the truth exists because if it does not exist then also not the fact that the truth does not exist. Additionally is seems to be a contradiction to Plato and also Socrates theory of anamnesis: I knew most of this in advance but I did not know that I knew it.
