This book meets the need to revise the standard interpretations of
an apparently aporetic dialogue, full of eloquent silences and
tricky suggestions, as it explores, among many other topics, the
dramatis personae, including Plato's self-references behind the
scene and the role of Socrates on stage, the question of method and
refutation and the way dialectics plays a part in the dialogue.
More especifically, it contains a set of papers devoted to
perception and Plato's criticism of Heraclitus and Protagoras. A
section deals with the problem of the relation between knowledge
and thinking, including the the aviary model and the possibility of
error. It also emphasizes some positive contributions to the
classical Platonic doctrines and his philosophy of education. The
reception of the dialogue in antiquity and the medieval age closes
the analysis. Representing different hermeneutical traditions,
prestigious scholars engage with these issues in divergent ways, as
they shed new light on a complex controversial work.
