ABSTRACT
The trend to assimilate Plato to modern habits of thought at any price has not stopped at his concept of philosophy. Not a few interpreters have wanted to rediscover in his writings the infinitivism of German Romanticism. According to this interpretation, Plato thought that philosophy was a journey of thought without end, a perpetual striving and searching which indeed never reaches a final goal; the philosopher has nothing to present that he would not immediately question; philosophical propositions are consequently always temporary propositions, philosophical truth always truth to be retrieved.
