Question

Two answers required. Plato supposedly added “with broad, flat nails” to a definition of man as having these two properties. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name these two properties that Plato used to define man according to one story. Diogenes legendarily refuted that definition by presenting a chicken that had both of these properties.
ANSWER: featherless AND bipedal [accept in either order; accept biped or descriptions of walking on two feet for bipedal; accept descriptions of not having feathers for featherless]
[10e] Although Diogenes was a featherless biped, he belonged to this philosophical school whose name comes from the Greek for “dog.”
ANSWER: Cynicism [accept word forms like Cynics]
[10h] Some stories attribute Diogenes’ death to eating the raw meat of one of these animals. These animals appear in the subtitle of a 2016 book by the Australian thinker Peter Godfrey-Smith.
ANSWER: octopuses [or octopedes or octopi; accept Other Minds: The Octopus, The Sea, and the Deep Origin of Consciousness]
