Its location within the corpus as a whole is a source of controversy among specialists. Although the authenticity of the dialogue was proven by a mention of Aristotle in Metaphysics V, 1025 a 6, there have been those who have absolutely dismissed its philosophical value.

El Hipias Menor es uno de los diálogos más breves de Platón. Su ubicación dentro del conjunto del corpus constituye un motivo de controversia entre los especialistas. Si bien la autenticidad del diálogo quedó probada a partir de una mención de Aristóteles en Metafísica V, 1025 a6, no han faltado quienes desestimaran absolutamente su valor filosófico. Alejados de esta postura extrema, se encuentran quienes han señalado el sentido propedéutico que tendría el diálogo respecto de algunos temas recurrentes en la obra posterior de Platón. Asimismo, en los últimos años se han propuesto lecturas que intentan mostrar las tensiones que el Hipias presentaría en relación a textos de otros socráticos. En el presente trabajo ensayaremos una vindicación del diálogo atendiendo a su valor intrínseco, considerando que Platón ofrece en él una sutil distinción de dos entramados conceptuales diferentes, sobre una misma base terminológica. Si la argumentación va por buen cauce, veremos que el gesto filosófico de Platón en este diálogo consiste en operar con una serie de términos críticos para la conciencia ateniense de finales del siglo V. a.C., para inscribir en ellos dos sentidos posibles, restituyendo de este modo la problematicidad de los mismos.
