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 implications of what Socrates calls "speaking well" or "speaking poorly" (i.e. as someone with expertise) for the question of who possesses knowledge in that dialogue.
