The Socratic method of questioning and refutation (elenchus)
predominates the early Platonic dialogues. But things change in the
middle dialogues, as Socrates goes beyond merely asking questions
and begins to provide answers to his questions. And the method
virtually disappears in the late dialogues. The standard
explanation of this phenomenon is that the early dialogues were
intended to commemorate Socrates and the elenchus, while in the
middle and late dialogues Plato went beyond Socrates to present his
own mature philosophical thought. In this book, Matthews revises
this explanation by uncovering the shortcomings that Plato came to
find in the Socratic method and the reasons why Plato lost interest
in it.
