This is the first volume of essays dedicated to the whole question of self-knowledge and its role in Platonic philosophy. It brings together established and rising scholars from every interpretative school of Plato studies, and a variety of texts across Plato’s corpus – including the classic discussions of self-knowledge in the Charmides and Alcibiades I, as well as dialogues like the Republic, Theaetetus and Theages, which are not often enough mined for insights on this crucial philosophical topic. The rich variety of readings and hermeneutical methods (together with the comprehensive research bibliography included in the volume) allows for an encompassing view of the relevant scholarly debates. The volume is intended to serve as a standard resource for further research on Platonic self-knowledge and will highlight the relevance of Plato’s thought to contemporary debates on selfhood, reflection and subjectivity.
