The way to wisdom in Plato's Phaedrus and in the Hippocratic Corpus
Abstract:
In the Platonic Phaedrus, Socrates leads his friend to truth and knowledge. This path has, in my opinion, three steps. To perceive through the senses (aisthanesthai), to remember past experiences (anamimnêskesthai) and to know (noein, i.e. to perceive the truth through the mind, 'pilot of the soul'). In the Hippocratic Corpus we can find a parallel way to discover truth. The physician keenly perceives through the senses. He remembers past experiences (other patients). From many cases, he gets to know the course and the nature of disease. He reaches the truth as far as it is possible to mortal men.
