First, the chapter submits a survey of Platonic studies concerning the dialogic form. Then, in the field of Platonic interpretation, the author deals with the issue of dialogue in the strict sense, of dialogue in a formal sense and of dialogue in a broader sense. Inspired by bakhtinian genres, the author identifies six different groups of Plato’s dialogues. The author concludes that dialogues in these groups do not share only the same dialogic genre, but also the overall concept of philosophy.
