Abstract

This chapter discusses three related mirror functions played by the Platonic dialogue Alcibiades I: its implicit and explicit reflection on Socratic conversation; its role as a mirror for readers in their process of self-discovery; and the role that this text, and ancient philosophy generally, can play for contemporary society, as a reflecting surface that is both familiar and strange.
