  • Among the images of Plato’s philosophy created by twentieth-century thinkers, Heidegger and Gadamer, although the latter was a direct pupil of the former, represent two quite antithetical positions: while for Heidegger Plato is the philosopher founder of metaphysics, and therefore the “villain” to whom we must impute (as R. Bernsetin wrote) everything that has gone wrong in the history of the Western civilization, for Gadamer Plato is above all a Socratic philosopher, therefore dialogical, open-minded and tolerant. The present essay explores the roots of, and the reasons for, this difference, showing also that the approach chosen by Gadamer, though historically and philologically more convincing, however neglects some essential aspects of Plato’s thought.
