Savremene interpretacije ‘Sokratovskog problema’
Contemporary Interpretations of 'Socratic Problem'

Summary/Abstract: 'The problem of Socrates' represents one of the most important issues in the history of ancient philosophy. It is about credibility and foundation of sources that reveal the 'face' of the historical Socrates. In fact, in recent years researchers have disputed about it, where one of four sources (Aristophanes, Plato, Xenophon and Aristotle) belongs to the highest degree of certainty for the reconstruction of the historical character of the philosophers of Athens. The author will take up this issue on the basis of recent studies and show how the dialogues of Plato and Xenophon writings show as the most reliable written records to define the philosophical portrait of Plato's teacher.
