| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to analyze comprehensively the philosophical functions and meanings of Plato's mythos (myth), which is Plato's usual philosophical method. To achieve this purpose, I first categorized Plato's mythos into two types, i.e., 'the eschatological mythos' and 'the cosmological mythos'. In the first step of research, I analyzed each dialogue in which the arguments of mythos emerge one by one. In the second step, I considered the philosophical functions of mythos in each philosophical theme. In the third step, I tried to make clear the general role of mythos in Plato's philosophical method.
