Summary/Abstract: Philosophy has historically been explored through dialogue, beginning with ancient Greek thought, notably in Plato's dialogues, and later used by thinkers such as Cicero, Saint Augustine, Diderot, Hume, Schelling, and modern authors like Feyerabend and Murdoch. Beyond its form, the dialogic nature of philosophy itself is a deeper question, emphasizing the processual and mediated aspects of philosophical argumentation and truth. This connection is evident in Plato's "Socratic dialogues" and is further developed in modern concepts like Gadamer's Philosophical Hermeneutics, Buber's theory of intersubjectivity, and Habermas' concept of free communication. These approaches highlight a distinction between dialogic and monologic methods of philosophical inquiry, particularly in the discovery of truth.
