Husserl presents Socrates as a reformer of philosophy and philosophical practice – in his criticism of sophistic, skepsis and empiricism. As Bogaczyk-Vormayr emphasizes in her introduction, Husserl does not evoke any historical paradigm, he does not want to – simply said – be a historian of philosophy; on the contrary, he presents his view of ethics, which we should call a phenomenological one. That means he offers a critical history of philosophy – his analyses are focused on philosophical ideas and only their philosophical potential is what matters to him.polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSocratesSocratic dialoguepraxissophistic; truthphenomenologyeudaimoniahappinesswisdomArtykułhttps://doi.org/10.14746/eip.2016.2.7
