Abstract

This text shows itself as one of the results of a theoretical or bibliographical research, whose purpose is to explain this finality of the Socratic thinking, that is: the applying of philosophy into education, as the most efficient way of breeding the individual for a personal and collective existence which be, overall, reflexive. The present article goes in search of theoretical supporters, such as: Brun (1984), Cambi (1999), Dinucci (2009) and Plato (2004). Once upon the socratic philosophy has been revealed itself a very fertile terrain to the spread of investigations of philosophical-educational order, this text also occupies itself of directing it to some considerations about the contribution of the socraticism to the educator’s ethical-political auto-breeding, showing as its main result that the Socrates’ personality and reflection constitute an immortal example of philosopher, educator and virtue defender, whose dialogical method is still valued to the breeding of the contemporary educator.
