Elenchtike techne, erotike techne: in margine al Carmide platonico

Abstract

The paper aims to investigate the relationship between á¼Ïωτικὴ τέχνη and á¼Î»ÎµÎ³ÎºÏ„ικὴ τέχνη in Plato’s early dialogues, and especially in the Charmides, through a close exam of the role of ἀντέÏως in the dialogical practice and exchanges. In the light of Socrates’reshaping of the roles of á¼Ïαστής and á¼Ïώμενος in his view of παιδεία “ exemplarily shown in the Symposium “ I will analyse some passages of Socrates’conversations in the Charmides by focusing on the interaction between the one who examines and the one who answers within the elenctic procedure.
