Summary/Abstract: Problem of the beginning of philosophy is analysed for the first time in philosophical tradition in Plato’s Politeia (6th and 7th book). The author considers this analysis significant in twofold sense. It explicates Plato’s understanding of the essence of philosophy on the base of differentiation between the hypothetical and non-hypothetical beginning of thinking. That enables Plato to make a clear distinction between philosophy and sciences. Both of these two standpoints can still be today recognized as paradigms of philosophical thinking. The author evaluates them as that which still lives in Plato’s philosophy.
