What is it and how is   (         )? This is the question that Socrates proposes to his interlocutors, Critias and Charmides, examine together in the dialogue of youth of Plato, the Charmides, tentative dialogue or examination ( ).   is make all things orderly and quietly (       )? It's a feeling like modesty or reserve ( )? You take care of your own things (     )?   would do good things (    )? Or even know himself (    )? Would be science of other sciences and science of herself (           )? Or would it be finally the knowledge of good and evil (      )? Like in others properly called Socratic dialogues of Plato (in the Laches is the courage, in the Euthyphro is the piety) in which examines whether a particular virtue is knowledge, in the Charmides it is examining whether   is knowledge. If it is, is knowledge of what? And what is, for us, the benefit of this virtue, conceived as knowledge? These are some of the issues examined by Socrates in this dialogue. This work intends to follow step by step this is that the first Socratic investigation (  ) about   in the dialogues of Plato. Or, put another way, this work intends to follow step by step the Socratic philosophy in dialogue Charmides.
