Modern interpreters of Plato s Socrates have generally taken the
dialogues to be aimed at working out objective truth. Attending
closely to the texts of the early dialogues and the question of
virtue in particular, Sean D. Kirkland suggests that this approach
is flawed that such concern with discovering external facts rests
on modern assumptions that would have been far from the minds of
Socrates and his contemporaries. This isn t, however, to accuse
Socrates of any kind of relativism. Through careful analysis of the
original Greek and of a range of competing strands of Plato
scholarship, Kirkland instead brings to light a radical,
proto-phenomenological Socrates, for whom what virtue is is what
has always already appeared as virtuous in everyday experience of
the world, even if initial appearances are unsatisfactory or
obscure and in need of greater scrutiny and clarification."
