metadata.value: The article deals with the question of the ideological content of Plato’s “minor” dialogues and
  their significance for understanding Plato’s philosophy. The author sees his goal in showing
  that the traditionally low assessment of these works by Plato is unfair. Thus, the article provides
  analysis of the “minor” dialogues in terms of their role in the implementation of Plato’s
  educational strategies. Plato is affirmed never to separate the problems of philosophy and education
  because philosophy itself was understood by Plato as the education of the soul. The article
  proposes to consider “Minor Plato’s” dialogues as part of the Corpus Platonicum regardless
  of the solution to chronology and authenticity problems, since these dialogues in one way or
  another belong to the heritage of the Academy. The article analyzes two dialogues, Clitophon
  and Theages which are still little studied in Russian literature. The connections between the
  considered dialogues and the great works of Plato — Republic, Symposium, and Theaetetus —
  are revealed. The author comes to the conclusion that the relationship between these dialogues
  should be viewed as a “challenge-response” relationship in which the dialogues’ back-andforth
  occurs. It has been established that not only do Plato’s major dialogues contain answers
  to questions posed in Minor Plato’s dialogues, but, conversely, Clitophon and Theages become
  keys to understanding Symposium and Theaetetus. The article proves that Plato made this
  dialogues back-and-forth in order to achieve better understanding of his philosophical ideas
  by students.
