The Tension Between the Means and End of Philosophical Inquiry: Dialectic in Plato's Early and Middle DialoguesDissertation, University of Toronto (Canada). 1991.The philosopher is not satisfied with commonly accepted opinions and seeks a truth to which these opinions do not do justice. As a result the philosopher cannot talk about virtue and the good life in the way that the man on the street would. Yet philosophy thereby stands in danger of severing all of its ties with everyday experience and of deluding itself into thinking that it can be a purely "technical" discipline or a "science" which will grasp once and for all those truths which appear only "…Read more

55Socrates on philosophy and politics: Ancient and contemporary interpretationsIdeas Y Valores 61 (149): 103-123. 2012.Socrates can be said to have left the subsequent philosophical tradition with the problem of the relation between philosophy and politics. Already in the Republic the proposal of philosopher-kings represents more a tension than an identity. While Aristotle responds by insisting on a sharp distinction between politics and philosophical wisdom, this distinction proves on closer examination much less sharp than might appear. Heidegger characterizes philosophy as the only authentic politics and the …Read more

81Dialectic and dialogue: Plato's practice of philosophical inquiryNorthwestern University Press. 1998._Dialectic and Dialogue_ seeks to define the method and the aims of Plato's dialectic in both the "inconclusive" dialogues and the dialogues that describe and practice a method of hypothesis. Departing from most treatments of Plato, Gonzalez argues that the philosophical knowledge at which dialectic aims is nonpropositional, practical, and reflexive. The result is a reassessment of how Plato understood the nature of philosophy

1Il Bello Nel Simposio: Sogno 0 Visione?Méthexis 25 (1): 51-70. 2012.What is often identified with Plato’s doctrine of love is greatly complicated, if not even compromised, by the dialogical form in which it is presented. In the first place, this account of love in placed in the mouth of a character, Diotima, who as priestess and woman seeking to initiate Socrates into mysteries he may not be able to follow is sharply distinguished from the philosopher. Furthermore, even the ideal portrait of the philosopher we find in the character of Socrates is rendered suspec…Read more

16Plato and Heidegger: A Question of DialoguePennsylvania State University Press. 2009.In a critique of Heidegger that respects his path of thinking, Francisco Gonzalez looks at the ways in which Heidegger engaged with Plato’s thought over the course of his career and concludes that, owing to intrinsic requirements of Heidegger’s own philosophy, he missed an opportunity to conduct a real dialogue with Plato that would have been philosophically fruitful for us all. Examining in detail early texts of Heidegger’s reading of Plato that have only recently come to light, Gonzalez, in pa…Read more
