Summary/Abstract: An attempt to clarify the meaning of the term dóxa, as it appears in the Platonician philosophy, is made by Adriana Mihaela Macsut in the volume Dóxa in Plato's conception published in 2019 by LUMEN Publishing House. According to the author, dóxa can be "considered to be a structural concept, which is in a relation of signification with the objects at mental level, a doctrine that shows that this is a sign of the object and not merely a term by which there is highlighted an idea that expresses a word.” This review aims only to point out a possible correlation between dóxa - as opinion - and the justification of an opinion outside the epistemic frameworks as well as the possible relation of doxal knowledge to the idea of fake news.
