In the Statesman and the Symposium Plato proposes two different ways to reach the Truth. Upon comparing them so many similarities can be found that one may conclude that Plato is in fact presenting only one way, although he describes it in two different manners. It is only a teacher with his student or a beloved with a lover who can follow this way. The goal is the light of the highest Idea. I will present the ontological, semiotic and axiological aspects of my conclusions.
