Summary/Abstract: In my writing, I would like to emphasize that if anyone undertakes a more in-depth analysis of a prominent area of the Platonic-Socratic philosophy, it is best to pay attention, above all, to the rhetorical background of the concept he is currently researching. In my, opinion, the best attitude is to examine the rhetorical-dialectical signs that occur in the Platonic-Socratic philosophy together with the exact philosophical doctrines, thereby trying to somehow “connect” to the various Socratic dialectical games. Based on this, I will try to outline a certain method of investigation, with which we may be able to better understand the more obscure parts of the dialogues.
