  • The aim of this paper is to examine how the Greek motto ãí.èé óåáõôüí plays a central role in Plato�s philosophy in order to show how ethics and knowledge go hand in hand in his model of ðáéäåßá. The question of self-knowledge is a practical and theoretical task in life which is developed implicitly in his dialogues, it is for this reason that i examine some passages of the Charmides, Alcibiades I, Phaedo and Republic in order to show how Plato discovers the human interiority (Phaedo) and how self-knowledge is refined and articulated with the tripartition of the soul in the Republic
