Abstract

The author reminisces about Giovanni Reale’s approach to teaching and his extraordinary didactic skills, recalling the experience of her participation in Professor’s lecture on Plato’s Symposium. She also discusses Reale’s editorial activities, especially his commitment to publishing Italian translations of outstanding philosophical works with the parallel original texts. Both areas of the Italian scholar’s activity are shown as a means to creating a community of persons reflecting on the fundamental questions of philosophy.

Keywords:
