Platon i dialog sokratyczny: Wykorzystanie literackiej formy na użytek filozofii

Rate this book
Ujęcie ewolucyjne zakłada, że Platon pisał swe dialogi po to, żeby rozwiązać jakieś problemy, bądź też obwieścić swoje rozwiązania światu. Założenie takie sugeruje, jak sądzę, błędną interpretację motywów, którymi kierował się Platon, pisząc swoje dzieła – twierdzi Charles H. Kahn.

Very interesting book about the relation between the character 'Socrates' in Plato's dialogues and the real life person with the same name. Charles Kahm argues convincingly I think, that only in the Apology and possibly the Crito Plato is giving a portrait of Socrates, the person. Contrary to most interpretations he thinks Plato started to develop his own philosophy much earlier and just used the character of Socrates from the very beginning only as a literary device. It's the most consistent description of Plato's thought and development I've read thus far, actually it's the only one. It even made Plato a bit more real and sympathetic and Socrates a lot less irritating.

This book is a nice contrast to the Vlastos perspective on Plato.
