This paper pursues a double and interwoven goal: on the one hand, it reconstructs howancient philosophy had a prominent role in the way in which the founders of P4C understoodtheir undertaking. In this perspective, it is argued that P4C can (and even should) be construed in terms of a ‘repetition’ of ancient philosophy (in the qua si-Heideggerian meaning of Wiederholung). On the other, it is shown how Lipman and Sharp revived an oft forgottenstrand of ancient philosophy, that is, the dialectic as distinct from the epistemic reasoning.After presenting the specificities of the ancient dialectic (as Aristotle has delivered them to us), we explore the ‘family resemblance’ between this mode of ‘communal’ reasoning and what happens within the community of philosophical inquiry, and we suggest capturing theiraffinities as a form of ‘exaptation’ |
