The Socratic Philosophy Under the Sign of a Daimonion

In the present outline of Socrates' thought I primarily focused on the
less discussed aspect of his philosophy - I am principally interested in
the birth of his philosophy under the sign of a daimonion. I believe
that the interventions of a daimonion became a source of original
reflections for him as well as the basis of an intellectual overdoing of
the theses of other philosophers. Contra those who marginalize the role
of a daimonion in his philosophy, I hold that it is impossible the role
of a daimonion in his philosophy, I hold that it is impossible to
understand Socrates - together with all his rationalism-with-out
bringing to the fore the pivotal role of this very specific experience,
which distinguished his from the other Greeks in the first place.
