Abstract
The Phaedo is a dialogue where we usually find the doctrine of recollection, a theory which is often interpreted as Plato’s response to the origin of knowledge. From this point of view, the argument on recollection says that the soul has seen the ideas in the prenatal existence and remembers them on the occasion of the sensible perception. This reading wants to bracke this theoric interpretation and to look at the whole argument in its literality. This thesis will defend that the Phaedo presents a platonic argument of confrontation between two cognitive models and that is necessary to consider the reminiscence Socratic as a gamble on the philosophical learning.
