In Plato's Socrates on Socrates: Socratic Self-Disclosure and the
Public Practice of Philosophy, Anne-Marie Schultz analyzes the
philosophical and political implications of Plato's presentation of
Socrates' self-disclosive speech in four dialogues: Theaetetus,
Symposium, Apology, and Phaedo. Schultz argues that these moments
of Socratic self-disclosure show that Plato's presentation of
"Socrates the narrator" is much more pervasive than the secondary
literature typically acknowledges. Despite the pervasive appearance
of a Socrates who describes his own experience throughout the
dialogues, Socratic autobiographical self-disclosure has received
surprisingly little scholarly attention. Plato's use of narrative,
particularly his trope of "Socrates the narrator," is often
subsumed into discussions of the dramatic nature of the dialogues
more generally rather than studied in its own right. Schultz shows
how these carefully crafted narrative remarks add to the richness
and profundity of the Platonic texts on multiple levels. To
illustrate how these embedded Socratic narratives contribute to the
portrait of Socrates as a public philosopher in Plato's dialogues,
the author also examines Socratic self-disclosive practices in the
works of bell hooks, Kathy Khang, and Ta-Neishi Coates, and even
practices the art of Socratic self-disclosure herself.
