Full textThis study traces a persistent connection between the image of disease and the concept of difference in Plato’s Gorgias, Phaedo, and Timaeus. Whether the disease occurs in the body, soul, city, or cosmos, it always signals an unassimilated difference that is critical to the argument. I argue that Plato represents—and induces—diseases of difference in order to produce philosophers, skilled in the art of differentiation. Because his dialogues intensify rather than cure difference, his philosophy is better characterized as a “higher pathology” than a form of therapy.
An introductory section on Sophist lays out the main features of the concept of difference-in-itself and concisely presents its connection to disease. The main chapters examine the relationship in different realms. In the first chapter, the problem is moral and political: in the Gorgias, rhetoric is a corrupting force, while philosophy purifies the city and soul by drawing distinctions. In the second chapter on Phaedo, the problem is epistemological: if we correctly interpret the illness of misology, as the despair caused by the inability to consistently distinguish truth and falsity, we can resolve the mystery of Socrates’ cryptic last words (“We owe a cock to Asclepius; pay the debt and do not neglect it”). In the third chapter on Timaeus, Plato treats diseases of the soul, the body, and the cosmos itself. There, the correlation between disease and difference actually helps humans situate themselves in the vast universe—for in both cases, proper differentiation is the key to a healthy, well-constructed life.
My emphasis on Plato’s theory of difference counters the traditional focus on his theory of Forms. Elucidating the link between the concept of difference and the experience of disease has broader impact for the ageless question of how we should live our lives. In Plato’s system, neither disease nor difference is a wholly negative element to be eradicated. Instead, difference and disease, in their proper proportions, are responsible for the fullness of the world and the emergence of the philosophical subject.

Full texts early and middle dialogues. Indeed, the Meno exposes the transition on the content and form of these dialogues. The first part of the dialogue resembles the Socrates&rsquo
way of investigation, the so-called Elenchus, whereas Plato presents his own philosophical project in the second part of the dialogue. Three fundamental elements of Plato&rsquo
s middle dialogues explicitly arise for the very first time in the Meno, namely
the recollection, the hypothetical method and reasoning out the explanation. Therefore, the connexion of the early and middle dialogues can be understood better if the structure of the Meno is analyzed properly. In other words, the Meno is the keystone dialogue which enables the readers of Plato to sense the development in Socratic-Platonic philosophy.

A tese pretende investigar a ontologia defendida pelo personagem Sócrates nos diálogos platônicos. Em oposição à interpretação majoritariamente aceita, que atribui ao personagem Sócrates a adesão a duas ontologias distintas, defendo a hipótese de que o Sócrates dos diálogos platônicos argumenta consistentemente a partir de uma única proposta ontológica. Esta proposta consiste na postulação de entidades inteligíveis realmente existentes que atuam como causa das propriedades dos objetos sensíveis. A tese divide-se em duas partes. Na primeira parte, começo por analisar as particularidades da composição platônica, assim como a formação do paradigma atual de leitura das obras de Platão. Em um segundo momento, tomo como foco os diálogos iniciais e defendo que a ontologia subjacente à argumentação de Sócrates nestas obras é a mesma que encontramos nos diálogos médios. No último capítulo da primeira parte, apresento a argumentação socrática dos diálogos médios e demonstro como, nestas obras, a ontologia dos diálogos iniciais é apresentada de maneira explícita e mais informativa. A segunda parte da tese consiste em uma análise das críticas à Teoria das Ideias que encontramos no diálogo Parmênides. No primeiro momento desta segunda parte, argumento que o Sócrates do Parmênides está, novamente, defendendo a mesma proposta ontológica dos diálogos médios e iniciais. Posteriormente, demonstro como as críticas formuladas pelo personagem Parmênides são válidas e realmente apresentam problemas relevantes para teoria socrática.
This dissertation aims to investigate the ontology proposed by the character Socrates in the Platonic dialogues. In opposition tothe mostly accepted interpretation which attributes to the character Socrates the adoption of two distinct ontologies, I defend the hypothesis that the Socrates of the Platonic dialogues consistently argues from within a single ontological theory. This theory consists in the postulation of real and existing intelligible entities that act as the cause of the properties of sensible objects. The dissertation is divided in two parts. In the first part, I analyze the particularities of the Platonic composition as well as the construction of the actual reading paradigm of the Platonic works. In a second moment, I start investigating the first dialogues and claim that the ontological theory that underlies Socrates arguments in these works is the same as the one we can find in the middle dialogues. In the last chapter of the first part, I expose the Socratic arguments from the middle dialogues and I show how, in these woks, the underlying ontology of the first dialogues is more explicitly and informatively presented. The second part of the dissertation consists in an analysis of the critiques of the Theory of Forms that we find in the Parmenides dialogue. In the first moment of this second part, I argue that the Socrates from the Parmenides is again defending the same ontological theory from the middle and first dialogues. Afterwards, I show how the critiques constructed by the character Parmenides are valid and do present significant problems to the ontological theory of Socrates.

Full textOver the last decades the attention to the dialogue form has paved the way for a radical renewal of the Platonic studies and for an interest, although limited, in the Dialogues’ characters. The interest has yet been focused almost exclusively on Socrates and the definition of the traits of his character. Instead, too little attention has been paid to his interlocutors; therefore, this thesis aims to show their crucial role in the discursive community of six dialogues: First Alcibiades, Charmides, Theaetetus, Gorgias, Republic (books I, II and V), Philaebus. Firstly, some characters embody Socrates' antagonists and 'represent the cultural dimensions and the theoretical issues alive in the society to which Plato refers in his critical re-examination' (Vegetti). In this respect, their presence is important to observe how the Dialogues are less the exposition of a doctrine than the staging of another kind of relationship to knowledge, thus defining a contrario what philosophia means to him. Starting from the list that Socrates himself sketches in the Apology, I have established a typology that opposes Socrates' rivals and the young people. Within these two major categories, we could appreciate differences in their age and attitude towards knowledge. Before starting to analyze the characters, it was however necessary to define what being an 'interlocutor' means. Indeed, the platonic texts show many nuances in the interaction or presence of the interlocutors and the definition of their features was fundamental for the subsequent analysis of the texts. The terms have been grouped into two categories: one who identify the interlocutors on the basis of the destination of the conversation (audience, listeners, spectators, presents / absents) and another who describe the relationship of the interlocutors with Socrates and to the discourse. The analysis of the corpus was then guided by the definition of the dialogue of Diogenes Laerce (Diog.Lerer 3.48.7-11.), which allows us to detect two fundamental elements of dialogical exchanges: the discursive practice, that is the sequence of questions and answers, and the characterization of interlocutors (ethopoiia). We could observe that the psychological and social ethos of the interlocutors as well as their knowledge of the dialectical rules determine their ability to dialogue. This review has confirmed that the typology of the Apology and the normative definition of the interlocutor proposed by the Dialogues are really staged thanks to the interlocutors. Finally, we have analyzed three discursive phenomena that hinder dialogue or do not fulfill all the conditions of dialectical exchanges: silence, irony and the use of images. Through them Plato probably wants to show the impossibility of 'weaving a common discourse in the absence of a shared world of values' (Fussi), mainly because he recognizes that philosophical persuasion must be addressed beyond the dialogic fiction
