Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to reevaluate the relevance of the Socratic method of searching especially in the context of the so-called theory of recollection. I firstly undertook an examination of the main texts, Plato's Meno, Phaedo and Phaedrus. I also explored to what extent the other works of Plato might be related or unrelated to the theory. One of the main results of this research was that I uncovered fundamental problems within the developmental view (Plato's works show a 'development' of his thought).
