Care of the self through the others according to Plato’s aporetic dialogues
Abstract
In this paper I focus on the therapeutic nature of Socratic philosophy according to Plato’s aporetic dialogues. I consider that Socrates therapy is a care of the self whose exercise is carried out with others in a dialectical way. Thus, the nature of the self is never the result of an isolated reflection, but a constant search through dialogue. It will be necessary to clarify the meaning of the relationship established by the Socratic dialogue, the structure of the therapeutic question and the objective that motivates Socratic therapy.
