The connecting thread of this thesis is the idea that philosophy is essentially dialectical or a matter of conversation. Plato's idea of philosophy plays a pivotal role insofar as one of his main preoccupations throughout his work is to define the essence of philosophy. For him philosophy and dialectic are interchangeable terms. Plato's idea of dialectic is that of a philosophical conversation. This is not a judgement that is accepted by many other philosophers; I consider objections that Aristotle, Descartes and Husserl address to this idea of the nature of philosophy. In the first main part I discuss the etymology and origins of the word dialectic and its possible literary antecedents in Greek epic, lyric and tragedy. I then offer, in the second part, a historical approach to the philosophical roots of dialectic with the aim of grasping its genesis and evolution. I deal with the different ancient ideas of dialectic as represented by the figures of Plato, Aristotle, Zeno (and some Sophists), and the Stoics, then moving on to the medieval understanding of dialectic. Finally I describe its modem versions through representative figures such as Kant, Hegel, Marx and Engels. Finally, in the third part, I turn to the Socratic-Platonic understanding of dialectic. In this part I discuss the nature of the Socratic-Platonic method and some different perspectives on Platonic dialectic. As a test case, and especially with the aim of showing how dialectic operates in Plato, and how he contrasts the figures of the Philosopher and the Sophist I focus on the Sophist.

Such a distinction presupposes that there is something about the first set that can be delineated as distinctively "Socratic." The question which arises from this supposition is two-fold. First, what is meant by "Socratic"? Second, do we mean, by calling the later dialogues "Platonic," that they lack the "Socratic" quality? We cannot understand the meaning of "Platonic" as distinct from "Socratic" without having made explicit what it is we are referring to when we use the word "Socratic." Chapter I develops a conception of "Socratic" as the participative attitude. Philosophy as the participative attitude means engagement in dialogue, self-articulation occasioned by and possible alone in encounter with an other as other. This interpration is understood and justified as an abductive hypothesis^1, as, an elucidating concept arrived at non-abstractively. In relation to this concept of the "Socratic," there are two possibilities for the meaning of "Platonic": either the meaning of "Platonic" is incompatible with what is meant by "Socratic," or it is one way of being "Socratic" which differs from the way in which the historical Socrates was "Socratic." Chapter II is a critical discussion of the first possibility, the claim that the distinctively "Platonic" is a set of doctrines and a mode of presentation^2 Using Sophist and Statesman as a test-case, I argue that this claim leads us to expect Plato to be more univocal with regard to the contemts of his purported doctrines than we in fact find him to be.
