摘      要：In the introduction Lamb （1924a） wrote for his translation of Plato＇s dialogues, he, knowingly or unknowingly, moves from the discussion of Plato the author to Socrates the character in Plato＇s dramatic depictions, revealing the entangling relationship between the two in the representations of the master by his disciple. In such cases, it takes more effort than usual to figure out whom the pronoun ＂he＂ stands for in this introduction. This example is just a tip of the iceberg of this phenomenon which does have an influence on the study of Plato＇s works. The names of Plato and Socrates are interchangeable in most titles where the ethics of Plato is taken for that of Socrates or vice versa. This paper examines the difficulties that arise as a result and brings up four alternatives as possible perspectives from which one may look at the same issues.
