According to Ka’ai, T. M., Moorfield, J. C., Reilly, M. P. J., & Mosley, S. (2004), te reo Māori was not original in Aotearoa / New Zealand, but derived from Taiwan in accordance with some scholars, and in the meanwhile, regional differences in Aotearoa / New Zealand resulted in some grammatical and structural differences in the use of te reo Māori.

Socrates and Plato are working not so much in the context of previous philosophies as in the context of the lack of them. Further, this is very probably one of Plato's earliest surviving dialogues, set in about 402 BCE (by extension, we might presume that it represents Socrates at a relatively early stage in his own thought). Nonetheless, in order to understand the aims and achievements of the dialogue, it helps to keep in mind some details about this lack of previous philosophies.

For example, in murder or a S:18 offence in the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, the mens rea present must be that of specific intent, which is where the defendant desired that particular outcome of their actions. However, it was held in R v Cunningham 1982, that the intention to cause serious harm was enough to satisfy the mens rea for murder. This shows that, where murder cases are concerned, that it is relatively easy to prove the required mens rea and in doing so the concept of fault is often satisfied. This is once again shown in oblique
