Abstract
This paper develops the theme of philosophy as a way of life by reading the Phaedrus utilizing the communicative practices – the forms and media - of the philosophy of communication. It will be shown that the various forms (rhetorical, mythical and dialectical) and media (spoken and written) of communication in the text are intimately interwoven with a certain conception of philosophy as a way of life dedicated to the search for truth. In the Phaedrus, Plato teaches us the ideal form of communication for the pursuit of philosophy.

Abstract
Bu makale media iletişim biçimleri ve araçları gibi iletişimsel pratiklerden yararlanmak suretiyle ve Phaedrus okuması vasıtasıyla felsefenin konusunu bir yaşam tarzı olarak belirlemektedir. Metinde iletişimin çeşitli biçimlerinin (retorik, mitsel ve diyalektik) ve medyanın (sözlü ve yazılı), hakikati araştırmaya adanmış bir yaşam biçimi olarak felsefenin belli kavramları ile iç içe geçmiş olduğu gösterilecektir. Phaedrus'ta Platon bize, felsefenin peşinde olmak için gerekli ideal iletişim biçimini öğretmektedir
