"The Philosophy as Dialectic" by María Teresa Padilla Longoria offers an in-depth analysis of the dialectical method in philosophy, particularly within the context of the Socratic-Platonic tradition. The book challenges the common image of the philosopher as an isolated figure and instead highlights the importance of dialogue and communication in philosophical practice. It argues that philosophy is not only an individual pursuit of truth but also a humanistic project that permeates the entire history of philosophy. The author integrates and overcomes critical objections raised by significant philosophers such as Aristotle, Descartes, and Husserl, demonstrating how Socratic-Platonic philosophy can be understood as a dynamic and communicative process. This work is aimed at both professionals in philosophy and anyone interested in personal development and understanding human existence.
