Plato – Socrates – teaching – dialectics – writing.Abstract
In this paper, I would like to show, departing from the Platonic dialogues, how and in what sense Plato reveals himself as a genuine disciple of Socrates. The text is organized into two parts: in the first I develop what Plato learned from Socrates; in the second, I would like to reflect on the elements that Plato elaborated autonomously from Socrates. The first part clarifies a number of elements: the complexity of the teacher's own presentation, his unbeatable domain in the discussions and the significance of this kind of practice. In the second part I will try to show that Plato, in the Theaetetus, draws a picture (that of the midwife) so as to describe the activity of his teacher. This activity leads him to deploy a metaphysics in which he recovers some aspects of Socrates' teaching, and to reflect not only about the legacy he inherited but also about the meaning of the written productions in and for philosophy.
