Abstract

Starting from Socrates' working ways, his actions, anecdotes and aspects of his ironic interrogation that remained in the mind of his disciples, we propose the use of a new hermeneutics to read the reports from Epictetus, Xenophon ant Plato in what relates to the investigation of names and their definitions, in order to differentiate more easily the possible distortions and additions introduced by the disciples.
