Incessant asking. Socrates and teaching

Abstract

In this work we perform an hermeneutic exercise, an interpretation, from our present and from our circumstance, to put Sócrates and his historically situated work into play once again, and at the same time to try to go much further than what we know about it and about ourselves; since it is an hermeneutic exercise of updating and application to make present a work that cannot remain anchored in the past, provided that it is truly a classic. It is, therefore, an exercise that does refer to the past, but as a something and a someone, Sócrates and his art of teaching and Sócrates master of love, which makes sense in our present, thus betting on overcoming temporal distances and differences to make them profitable.
