In this text, I propose to review Aristotle’s philosophical use of dialogue. To do this, I will test the thesis that the Stagyrite’s use of dialogue is due to a Platonic period that he would have gone through during his youth, which would also explain his adherence to theses foreign to his doctrine, such as that of the immortality of the soul. By reading some preserved fragments of the Eudemus, I will reject that thesis and concentrate on constructing an alternative exegetical proposal.
