Platonic dialectic

The concept of dialectic, in philosophy, is variegate, and in fact four distinction we can find for this concept, the definition Platonic, Aristotelian, Hegelian and other; reading Giovanni Gentile(1875-1944), he to give a distinction from his dialectic concept he define the Platonic dialectic as: “The Platonic dialectic is alone apparent dialectic, because it is the develop of unity through the multiplicity…the dialectic truth, whose way it is possible understand that of head, but it isn’t the dialectic of head, but that of ideas, that don’t make the unity but it are the unity…The ideas don’t realize the unity, because it are the unity, neither it realize the multiplicity because it are the multiplicity: and it haven’t the principle of mutation or movement”. It expressed so it seems a kick on the balls, because incomprehensible, in fact it is so; but we must consider that the word of ideas of Plato is unique, hence there are every ideas of real object in the word, in fact Gentile explained this concept through these words: “The Platonic dialectic is alone apparent dialectic, because it is the develop of unity through the multiplicity…”, this is the word of ideas is one but the ideas, that are the projection of earthly in the word, but the essence of these objects are in the word of ideas; hence the objects in earth word are millions in the word of ideas are millions, but the word and the concept that gathers ideal everything is one; the projection from ideas word in the earth word is one, the word of ideas is one; all these concept are one, but the object are millions, thereupon the unity in multiplicity of ideas, in fact gentile ends this chapter: “The ideas don’t realize the unity, because it are the unity…”, the unity in the ideas word, the unity in ideas concept, in abstraction, whereby gather in same nature, in same essence, therefore it are in same unity. Plato given a criterion for his concept of dialectic, that is the research between two or more person through the opinion confront, it is Socrates(b.Ch. 399); and after Plato  explains what results can gives the dialectic, the first is the refer to unique ideas every thing, in fact in the book of The republic, Plato said that the dialectic is beyond the particular science, this is the science specialist, because these hypothesis are alone the start of research, to after come to conclusions. The dialectic and the discussion about something  is the identification of a context and so, in Socratic sense, every ides can be divided and after divided again the part of ideas that is already divided and so until the solution. This is    explicitly method of Socrates that discussed with others and he researched the your truth; thereby Plato follows the method and teaching of his master until the end.
