Abstract:

In the Phaedrus, Plato provides an intriguing dramatic detail immediately before Socrates's first speech. "I shall veil myself to speak," Socrates declares, "so that I may run through the speech as quickly as possible and may not be at a complete loss from a sense of shame as I look towards you." In this essay, I argue that Socrates's veiling illustrates how authors of dialogic literature about philosophical topics subtly use dramatic and literary details to suggest preferred philosophical takeaways.

柏拉图《斐德罗篇》中隐藏的意义：戏剧性的细节作为哲学思考的指南

摘要：

在《斐德罗篇》中，柏拉图在苏格拉底第一次演讲之前提供了一个有趣的戏剧性细节。苏格拉底宣称：“我将在演讲时遮住自己，这样我就可以尽快讲完演讲，并且在我看着你时不会因羞耻感而完全不知所措。” 在本文中，我认为苏格拉底的面纱说明了有关哲学主题的对话文学的作者如何巧妙地利用戏剧和文学细节来提出首选的哲学要点。
