Abstract

The bequest of Socrates was received in several ways. This article revises the “sapiential derivation” of Socraticism, according to the Cynic, Stoic and Skeptic schools. All these philosophical trends deepen the ethical turn that Socrates is thought to have given philosophy. The notions of irony, katalepsis and epoche, which derive from Socratic docta ignorantia, are examined closely.
