platonisoperaqua01plat.djvu For Plato this detachment and use of dialogue is not a point of style, but an issue of epistemology: despite various changes of position on the issue of knowledge, he remains convinced throughout that anything taken on trust, second-hand, either from others or from books, can never amount to a worthwhile cognitive state; knowledge must be achieved by e ff ort from the person concerned. Plato tries to stimulate thought rather than to hand over doctrines. ! Annas, J. (1996). Plato. In S. Hornblower and A. Spawforth (eds.) Oxford Classical Dictionary (pp. 1190–3).
