Dialectic and Dialogue: Plato's Practice of Philosophical Inquiry

by Francisco González

Dialectic and Dialogue seeks to define the method and the aims of Plato's dialectic in both the "inconclusive" dialogues and the dialogues that describe and practice a method of hypothesis. Departing from most treatments of Plato, Gonzalez argues that the philosophical knowledge at which dialectic aims is nonpropositional, practical, and reflexive. The result is a reassessment of how Plato understood the nature of philosophy.

A very nice work of Platonic scholarship. Ambitious in scope but focused and concise in its analysis. Important reading for those who are interested in Plato and are committed to dialogical practices.
