What Was Socrates’s Daemon? | TheCollector
(Kierkegaard, a founder of existentialism, also looked at the daemon in The Concept of Irony. The Greeks did not have a lot of genres, but they all took a shot at it. Nowadays, besides an actor's name, it is used for software and AI agents. Possibly the timely hymns as dialogue between the individual and the system, subjective experience as spirituality in that case. For the machines, though, the situation may be reversed since reason is actual and emotion imaginary. Socrates blamed the Oracle. The current theory seems to be that the parties mutually transform one another.)
