Socrates as a new paideutic ideal: How to read the Hippias Minor
Hobza, Pavel
Plato's early dialogues are not theoretical treatises for their goal is primarily a practical one, namely, to influence the contemporary educational (paideutic) system. Since Achilles and Odysseus, who Socrates is speaking about, represented important paideutic examples or ideals, the aim of the dialogue is - at the symbolical level - to show Socrates as a new paideutic example or ideal.

Hector and Odysseus in the Hippias Minor
Boháček, Kryštof
Plato seeks to display the weakness of the teaching of the sophist Hippias of Elis, in particular the absence of coherence in his craftsmanship. Socrates assumes here the role of a philosophical destroyer and this role does contain an element of sophistry. The goal of his argumentation is to demonstrate the fact that for a philosopher, it does not suffice to be a scientist: philosopher must be an excellent inspired speaker, not an expert in a particular field.

The Lysis as a search for a rational world picture
Hobza, Pavel
Unlike in the early dialogues, which are constituted as the confrontation between two different kinds of thought or value systems, in the Lysis Plato attempts to establish a new conceptual frame in which to describe the world. Whereas in the early dialogues Socrates accepts the traditional world picture resting on men's inability to seize the region of gods, he is now trying to conceptualize the world in terms of good and evil, in which men are given the middle position between good and evil.

Dialog Protagoras jako Platónova obhajoba Sókrata
Hobza, Pavel
The Protagoras is staged as the confrontation of two kinds of wisdom that have different criteria: The criterion of Protagoras' wisdom resting on tekhne is human, whereas that of Socrates, who was designated by the Delphic oracle as the wisest of the Greeks, is divine. In confronting both kinds of wisdom the dialogue author wanted to justify Socrates before the Athenian public.
