Astonishment was a very important subject for the first philosophers who tried to offer an explanation of the origin of philosophy and to establish its limits. In the case of Plato, astonishment is a disposition of the soul in two senses: it precedes desire of knowledge and also makes it possible. Astonishment moves the three parts of the soul and it is due to this movement that it can reach the discovery of truth.
