This book reconstructs the impact of Plato's words for the modern
reader. In the Republic, Plato presented his schematization of
human intellectual development, and called for collaboration
between writer and reader. The response presented in this book
results in a new theoretical framework for engaging with Plato's
dialogues. Susanna Saracco analyzes the epistemic function of
Plato's written words and explores Plato's higher order pedagogy,
in which students are not mere learners and teachers are not the
depositories of the truth.
This book analyses the role of diagrammatic reasoning in Plato’s
philosophy: the readers will realize that Plato, describing the
stages of human cognitive development using a diagram, poses a
logic problem to stimulate the general reasoning abilities of his
readers. Following the examination of mental models in this book,
the readers will reflect on what inferences can be useful to
approach this kind of logic problem. Plato calls for a
collaboration between writer and readers. In this book the readers
will examine the connection between diagrams and discovery,
realizing the important epistemic role of visualization. They will
recognize the crucial role that diagrams play in problem solving.
The logic problem elaborated by Plato is addressed considering the
epistemic function of mental models. These models introduce to an
advanced stage of cognitive development, in which reasoning uses in
its investigations a higher-level of mathematical complexity,
represented by structuralism.
