| Sumario: | In the present paper we will examine the peculiar way in which, in the first book of his Republic, Plato presents the three interlocutors of Socrates in the occasion of establishing dialogical agreements that allow the progression, or not, of his investigation. With this aim, we will briefly allude to the arguments about the definition of justice. We will also try to show that the first exchange between Socrates and Cephalus, though it seems to be a silent dialogue, it serves as a trigger for the second. With Polemarco, Socrates has the opportunity to build a cooperative dialogue that is oriented towards persuasion, although he stumbles, in the last stretch, with the impossibility of dialogue, which is shown in the exchange with Thrasymachus. In this way, we believe that, in book I of the Republic, Plato offers an overview of the aims, scope and limits of philosophical activity and this lays the general foundation for the discussions that will take place in the rest of the dialogue. |
