PLATON LESEN - THOMAS A SZLEZÁK KARTONIERT (TB)

The author is looking for an interpretation of Plato which is enduring in view of Plato's
critique of writing in 'Phaedrus'. Denigrating Plato's own denigration of writing or wanting to
change it into its opposite  as is still being attempted  is not the way to understanding Plato
as an author. Only if we take his assessment of the correct ratio between written and oral
philosophizing seriously can we reach an adequate understanding of the technique and aims of
the dialogues. Against all modern prejudices and opposition  today's reader has to accept
Plato's perspective. In a first step  the author provides a survey of the formal
characteristics of the dialogues and a description of their dramatic technique with their
constants and variables of character portrayals and plot. The framework he establishes is then
applied to the image of the philosopher or dialectician and to Platons concept of imparting
philosophical knowledge.
