Abstract

The article is an attempt to answer the question what Socrates’ daimonion is, and withal, what its function, meaning and origins are. The main part of this article is focused on diverse interpretations of philosophers such as Guthrie, Swieżawski, Nowicki etc. In this context there are presented two general attitudes towards the problem: personal and abstract. Additionally, concerning the abstract interpretation, it is proposed reading daimonion as a sort of ultimate intuition.
