| Popis: | T HE MOST VEXING PROBLEM for the student of Platonism is that of establishing the relation between Socrates and Plato. To this problem I can claim no comprehensive answer. But within the confines of the present topic some further details may be added to an already extensive literature. I propose to investigate two aspects of dialectic certainly one of the links between Socrates and Plato and to argue (i) that the Socratic eros serves a philosophic function later paralleled by Plato's dialectical method and (ii) that Plato's formulation of the dialectical method was the outcome of his reflection on the role played by the Socratic eros in philosophic inquiry. |
