Question

One reason why Plato thought that reaching aporia (ἀπορία) is important.

Answer 1

Aristotle argues that if people have ethics, they can live a life of happiness or "eudaemonia", or flourishing. It is significant because it is the core of Plato's philosophy. It explains his view of the philosophical world. It's goal is to help people learner what is most real, most true, and most good.

Answer 2

The word Aporia simply means a state of confusion. It refers to the philosophy that an assertion starts with knowing something and ends at a state of doubt. Some scholars viewed Plato's early dialogues aportic. But its importance lays in the fact that reducing to aporia makes one realize that he thought to know something which he does not and make him instigate it.
