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

Full textCritics are known to show an interest in the subject of techne in the platonic dialogues : on the one hand, as a concept for the history of techniques; on the other hand, as a concept effective in plato's philosophy, mainly in the socratic method and moral theory (the craft-analogy). But these critics both confuse the concept of techne with the modern concept of "craft", that is to say, a rational and explicable process resulting in an object separate. This misconception justify a new analysis of the vocabulary of techne in the platonic dialogues. Techne means "liberal arts" as well as "crafts". Moreover, the stucture of the vocabulary of techne bears the mark of its sophistic use. This sophistic mark lead us to another approach to the problem of techne in the platonic dialogues. First, the craft-analogy is not constitutive of socrates' moral theory : the craft of virtue is part of the elenchos. Second, some platonic features (the techne of politics in the politicus, the division of labour in the republic, the demiurge in the timaeus) are to be understood as new definitions of sophistic features

Full textThis dissertation analyzes ps.-platonic Minos, a short dialogue transmitted within the Corpus Platonicum, whose authenticity has been questioned since the 19th century. Minos is centered on the definition of “law” and praises the mythical figure of Minos as a king and a lawmaker. This study replaces the dialogue in its historical context and argues for its philosophical and argumentative coherence. It covers three main points. First, a semantic study of the modes of argumentation used in Minos shows the important role played by etymology as an argumentative method. Second, the study of the three definitions of law provided by the dialogue allows for a comparison between Minos, Republic, Statesman, and Laws. Finally, the study of king Minos’ praise points to the 4th century BC and to the Ancient Academy as the historical context for the production of this text. Therefore, Minos can be considered as one of the first exegeses of Plato’s political dialogues produced within the Academy

Full textThe dissertation treats Plato’s early philosophy which, unfortunately, till now didn’t receive due attention in Lithuanian scholarship. From the nineteenth century a belief dominates among scholars that so-called “theory of ideas” is a foundation of Platonic philosophy and that ethical, epistemological and ontological issues are considered on the basis of this “theory”; although the latter was explicitly formulated only in the dialogues of the middle period, scholars believe that even doctrines which took shape in the “Socratic” dialogues presupposes the assertion of the existence of “pure forms”. In the dissertation this stereotype is discarded and, following Gregory Vlastos’ ideas, an alternative perspective of the interpretation of dialogues is proposed. In this case, the originality of Platonic philosophy is related with a specific methodic of the philosophical investigation, not with certain general “idealistic system”. First of all, we focus on the method of elenchus which Vlastos describes as a device (constantly used by Socrates, the main character of the dialogues) to refute interlocutor’s primary thesis, demonstrating its inconsistency with his other beliefs. However, from the point of view of logic, this method isn’t unproblematic: according to Vlastos, elenchus does not confine strictly to the refutation and can provide positive results, but it is evident that the value of its results depends on the veracity of its premises (because elenchus is deductive...

Full textIn the Republic, the poet is condemned without appeal and expelled from the city for introducing falsehood into the souls of the citizens through images. However, in this dialogue, as in all the others, Plato never hesitates to produce images himself by inventing imaginary myths and characters. "Speaking through images" (δι ’εἰκόνων λέγειν), or through what seems to be without being, is the point of convergence and the point of divergence between Plato and the poets. How should one understand this double attitude that we find in his criticisms on falsehood and the usages of it that he makes in the dialogues? How does falsehood, by giving birth to non-being, have such a power to orient the soul either toward the truth, or toward a world of illusions where it takes pleasure with what has no way to exist?

Assim, nesse percurso histórico dos textos dialógicos, verificamos a elaboração, ainda que incipiente, de uma teoria da história em Platão

Full textThis PhD thesis consists in a new critical edition with introduction, italian translation and commentary of the pseudo-platonic Eryxias, a Socratic dialogue transmitted inside the corpus of Plato’s works but already known in antiquity (see Diogenes Laertius 3.62) to be inauthentic and falsely attributed to the ancient philosopher. The latest critical edition of the Eryxias, which dates back to 1930 and was published by J. Souilhé in the «Collection des Universités de France», is not reliable, as it depends on a misleading reconstruction of the manuscript tradition, outdated at least since the pioneering work of L. A. Post (1934, The Vatican Plato and its Relations, Middletown); moreover, notwithstanding the text’s philosophical and literary interest and length inside the group of the Platonic spuria, the Eryxias has not been object of specific studies in the past century, exception made for the two dissertations by O. Schrohl (Göttingen 1901) and G. Gartmann (Bonn 1949), two works that remain hardly accessible even to scholars in the field, and for the italian edition by R. Laurenti (Bari 1969). Even in recent years, when the spurious dialogues have seen a renaissance as a field of study (see for example the volume edited by K. Döring, M. Erler and S. Schorn, Pseudoplatonica, Stuttgart, 2005), the Eryxias remains less studied than other items in the corpus, mainly due to its extension – fifteen pages of the canonic edition by Stephanus (1578) – and to its overall complexity. In spite of this marginal role in recent studies, the Eryxias had attracted since the 18th century the interest of scholars and historians of ancient economy, as it presents an ancient discussion on the value of wealth and material goods. The first part of the introduction deals with the philological issues and the general problems related to the transmission of the text in antiquity. In the second chapter I turn to the philosophical content. The theme of the Eryxias is an enquiry on the relationship between wealth (ploutos) and virtue (arete), led by Socrates together with his interlocutors Erasistratus, Eryxias and Critias (the tyrant). Two definitions of wealth are investigated: according to the first, which is centered on value (axios) the wealthiest man will be the wise man (sophos), as wisdom is the greatest value for mankind. According to the second, which identifies wealth with the possession of material goods (chremata), the richest man will be the most wicked. Both of these conclusions are consistent with the main model of the dialogue, that is to say the authentic writings of Plato. In the introduction I argue that the philosophical aim of the Eryxias is in fact an attempt to draw a coherent doctrine of wealth based on the Platonic dialogues and on the research developed inside Plato’s school, the Academy, in the first decades of the third century: to prove this point I show the coherence with many parallel passages in Plato’s writings, which show a careful study of the whole body of work associated to the name of the founder of the Academy, and I try to set the Eryxias in its historical frame, namely the «return to Socrates» that historians have seen in the first part of the Hellenistic Age (see A. A. Long, Socrates in Hellenistic Philosophy, CQ 38, 1988, 150-171; F. Alesse, La Stoa e la tradizione socratica, Napoli 2000). In the third and final chapter I concentrate my attention on the literary aspect, with a particular interest in the reception of the models of Socratic literature in the composition of the dialogue. Follows a note on the medieval tradition. After the text and translation, the extended commentary focuses on issues of detail, both literary-philological and philosophical. An appendix with tables as a full bibliography are included

Full textThe demonstration of immortality of soul in Plato’s dialogues, notably in Phædo, has been the object of many commentaries : as a result, it has been for a long time the major reference about this question. So, this thesis’ purpose is accomplishing the « deconstruction » of Plato’s writings about soul’s survival : when he begins to know his own being, every human might have spontaneous intuitions which make he thinks his soul survive after body’s death. Maybe such intuitions underlie this concept in Plato’s dialogues : so, what does Plato, explicitly or not, tell about these intuitions ? Which human features underlie his eschatological myths ? In order to try to answer these questions, the actual commentary of Plato’s explanations concering immortality of soul will be the object of thesis’ first part : this commentary will forget neither the context of dialogues nor Plato’s philosophical, ethical and politcal whole plans. This exegesis will lay the foundations for an analysis of links betweem the concept of soul’s survival after body’s death and human specificity’s major aspects which Plato mentions in his explanations ; the last part will try to summarize what has been previously presented and will propose some hypothesis in order to identify human feelings which constitute the source of belief in soul’s immortality and to see if these feelings were Plato’s ones or not. As a result, the thesis will come full circle and might contradict some wrongly widespread ideas concerning Plato

Si Platon a choisi d’écrire des dialogues, c’est parce qu’ils illustrent le mouvement de la pensée et de la connaissance dans l’âme. Questionner et répondre permettent de réaliser sa propre ignorance. Toutefois, l’accès au savoir par le dialogue est plus difficile dès que l’on s’adresse à des âmes récalcitrantes ou à une foule, car un tel procédé prend du temps et nécessite la bonne volonté des participants. C’est le constat de cette difficulté à transmettre la vérité en politique que pose le Gorgias et auquel Platon cherche à remédier. Si le dialogue est impossible avec la foule, alors que la politique repose sur le soin des âmes de la cité, comment dès lors éduquer la masse ? Il faudrait développer un usage légitime de la rhétorique pour transmettre la vérité en politique. On considère souvent que ce projet de fondation ne s’effectue que dans les dialogues du Phèdre et des Lois. Pourtant, le Gorgias, qui se déroule pendant la guerre du Péloponnèse, ne se réduit pas à une critique de l’enseignement du célèbre rhéteur, Gorgias de Léontinoi. Au contraire, la remise en question épistémologique et morale de son « art oratoire » est la condition de possibilité de l’émergence d’une belle dêmêgoria (503a7). Le présent travail propose d’en faire l’étude en accordant une attention particulière au mouvement du dialogue et aux différents visages de la rhétorique qu’incarnent les personnages. On discernera trois étapes fondamentales dans le dialogue : la réception, la réfutation et la refondation dialectique de la rhétorique qui sont finalement reproduites à une échelle plus réduite et métaphorique dans le mythe eschatologique qui conclut l’oeuvre. Le premier moment permet de dégager les raisons de l’émergence de l’art oratoire à Athènes par une analyse du contexte polémique dans lequel le Gorgias a été écrit en tenant compte des multiples références qui ont été transposées par Platon (l’Éloge d’Hélène de Gorgias, les Cavaliers d’Aristophane, les Traités hippocratiques, le Contre les Sophistes d’Isocrate, La guerre du Péloponnèse de Thucydide et l’Antiope d’Euripide). La deuxième étape permet de saisir le double dévoilement de la rhétorique et du dialogue. D’un côté, Gorgias se révèle incapable de définir sa propre pratique et apparaît inconscient des conséquences dramatiques qu’elle engendre sur ses disciples. De l’autre, Socrate instaure un espace discursif dans lequel il peut réduire la rhétorique à une empirie en dégonflant ses prétentions épistémologiques (celle d’être un art) et politiques (celle d’être une puissance qui vise le plus grand des biens). Cette mise en parallèle de deux manières de parler permet d’opposer la maîtrise d’un savoir dialogique par Socrate à l’incompétence de Gorgias. Cette réfutation appelle un renversement complet de la conception de la justice, de la politique, et de l’existence. Affrontant ensuite Pôlos et Calliclès, Socrate analyse à la fois les conséquences néfastes de la rhétorique sur leurs âmes et sur la Cité, mettant en parallèle leur dégénérescence morale avec celle d’Athènes. Ce faisant, il s’attaque à deux confusions majeures qui sous-tendaient la pratique gorgianique du discours : penser que faire ce que l’on veut est un pouvoir qui rend libre et prendre le plaisir pour le bien. Le maître de Platon devient ainsi historien et juge de la politique corruptrice menée par les figures illustres d’Athènes que sont Thémistocle, Miltiade, Cimon et Périclès, livrant au passage une interprétation opposée à celle de Thucydide sur l’impérialisme athénien. Ce travail de sape de l’édifice rhétorique mène finalement à sa refondation. À partir de ces réfutations, Socrate théorise une nouvelle rhétorique dont il fait par ailleurs usage sur la personne de Calliclès. Ce nouvel emploi philosophique émerge à partir d’un ordre naturel. En effet, alors que Calliclès rejetait l’égalité imposée par la démocratie et appuyait sa thèse de l’homme fort sur une certaine vision de la nature, Socrate fondera précisément son renversement politique et judiciaire sur une conception naturelle et ordonnée, en considérant le cosmos. De l’ordre et de l’harmonie mathématique, il dégagera une égalité géométrique, proportionnelle, qui permettra de redonner sa juste place à la rhétorique. Ce renversement sera ultimement réalisé métaphoriquement dans le mythe eschatologique clôturant le dialogue.
Si Platon a choisi d’écrire des dialogues, c’est parce qu’ils illustrent le mouvement de la pensée et de la connaissance dans l’âme. Questionner et répondre permettent de réaliser sa propre ignorance. Toutefois, l’accès au savoir par le dialogue est plus difficile dès que l’on s’adresse à des âmes récalcitrantes ou à une foule, car un tel procédé prend du temps et nécessite la bonne volonté des participants. C’est le constat de cette difficulté à transmettre la vérité en politique que pose le Gorgias et auquel Platon cherche à remédier. Si le dialogue est impossible avec la foule, alors que la politique repose sur le soin des âmes de la cité, comment dès lors éduquer la masse ? Il faudrait développer un usage légitime de la rhétorique pour transmettre la vérité en politique. On considère souvent que ce projet de fondation ne s’effectue que dans les dialogues du Phèdre et des Lois. Pourtant, le Gorgias, qui se déroule pendant la guerre du Péloponnèse, ne se réduit pas à une critique de l’enseignement du célèbre rhéteur, Gorgias de Léontinoi.

If Plato chose to write dialogues, it is because they illustrate the movement of thought and knowledge in the soul. The form of question and answer allows the recollection, beginning with the recollection of one’s own ignorance. The access to knowledge through the practice of dialogue, however, is made more difficult once we take on recalcitrant souls or a crowd as interlocuters, for such a practice takes time and demands the goodwill of all concerned. It is this difficulty of transmitting truth in politics that the Gorgias lays bear and that Plato attempts to remedy. If dialogue is impossible with the crowd, even though politics rests on the care of citizens’ souls, how then to educate the masses? One must develop a legitimate way of using rhetoric to transmit truth in politics. We often consider that this foundational project is carried out only in the Phaedrus and the Laws. Nevertheless, the Gorgias, which unfolds during the Peloponnesian War, cannot be reduced to a critique of the teachings of the celebrated rhetor, Gorgias of Leontini. On the contrary, by calling his “oratorical art” into question, both morally and epistemologically, one establishes the conditions for the emergence of a good dêmêgoria (503a7). This study proposes to examine Plato’s questioning of Gorgias’ art by affording particular attention to the movement of the dialogue and to the different faces of rhetoric embodied by its characters. We will set out three fundamental steps in the dialogue: the reception, refutation, and dialectical refoundation of rhetoric, which are finally reproduced metaphorically, though on a smaller scale, in the eschatological myth that concludes the work. The first moment allows us to identify the reasons for the emergence of the art of rhetoric in Athens through an analysis of the polemical context in which the Gorgias was written, taking into account the many literary references woven into the dialogue by Plato (e.g. to Gorgias’ In Praise of Helen, Aristophanes’ Knights, the Hippocratic Treatises, Isocrates’ Against the Sophists, The Peloponnesian War of Thucydides, and Euripides’ Antiope). The second step allows us to grasp the double unveiling of rhetoric and dialogue. On the one hand, Gorgias is revealed to be incapable of defining his own practice and appears unconscious of its dramatic effects on his disciples. On the other hand, Socrates creates a discursive space in which he can reduce rhetoric to set of empirical data by deflating its claims, both epistemological (i.e. that of being an art) and political (i.e. that of being a power that aims at the highest of goods). This paralleling of two ways of speaking allows us to contrast Socrates’ mastery of dialogical knowledge with Gorgias’ incompetence. This refutation calls for a complete reversal of our conception of justice, politics, and of existence itself. In his subsequent confrontations with Pôlos and Callicles, Socrates analyses both the harmful consequences of rhetoric on their souls and on the City, comparing their moral degeneracy with that of Athens. In doing so, he tackles two major confusions that underpinned the Gorgianic practice of oratory, namely, that freedom is to be found in doing what we want and that the good is to be found in pleasure. Plato’s master thus becomes both historian and judge of the corrupting policies pursued by the great figures of Athenian politics, including Themistocles, Miltiades, Cimon, and Pericles, offering an interpretation of Athenian imperialism opposite to that of Thucydides. This work of undermining the rhetorical edifice ultimately leads to its re-foundation. From these refutations, Socrates theorises a new rhetoric, one that he puts into practice in his exchange with Callicles. This new philosophical use of rhetoric emerges from the natural order of things. Indeed, while Callicles rejects the equality imposed by democracy and bases his thesis of the strong man on a certain vision of nature, Socrates founds his own reimagining of politics and justice on a natural and ordered conception of the cosmos. From order and mathematical harmony, he will produce a geometric and proportional equality that will finally allow rhetoric to be restored to its rightful place. This last twist will be realized metaphorically in the eschatological myth that closes the dialogue.

Han, Jacques. "La structure de la philosophie de Socrate selon Platon." Thesis, Paris 1, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018PA01H205/document.
Full textAccording to Plata, the philosophy of Socrates is structured around six terms: Form, soul, ignorance, knowledge, virtue, and dialectics. The soul, which is immortal, is the source of all goods and all evils, since it is the principle of spontaneous movement, and consequently the first cause of all movements, whether intellective, sensitive, or physical. Therefore, to make the city and its citizens just means, above all, making their soul just. Yet how can a soul be made better if one does not know the very cause of what is good and what is bad? ln the first dialogues, Socrates philosophizes against ignorance as the cause of vice, which deprives the soul of virtue. ln the late dialogues, Socrates philosophizes in favor of knowledge, that is, the knowledge of that which is, which is the very source of virtue. Yet how can one know that which is, if reality or being never cease changing? Hence the need for the existence of intelligible realities that are universal and immutable, in which sensible realities, which are particular and changing, participate. A question arises: if refutation is the means of revealing ignorance through dialogue, what is the means for knowing that which is? The answer is dialectic, which, through dialogue, allows one to recall the genuine realities which the soul once contemplated

Full textThe philosophical discourse of the main characters of Plato's dialogues (Socrates, the stranger, the Athenian or Timaeus) is perturbed, in its logic, by the presence of amphibologies. There are two types : those that are simply used to weaken the dialectical resources or refute the person being addressed and those that elaborate directly philosophemas. A careful perusal of these dialogues without concentrating too much on the credit traditionally paid to the main characters and reconsidering the underlying testimonies of the other characters (sophists, rhetoricians and poets such as homer) allow the revelation of the pre-philosophical interpretation of the difference in which logic, mathematics, rhetoric and ethics are deeply interlocked. Such a model of difference characterized by the medley (poikilon) can be seen in logic where the amphibolies split up the topic, in rhetoric where are so justified pre-discursive procedures of statement (catalogue, non-logical comparison, praise, nominal-dieresis, putting on a stage of the world into a metrical sentence), in ethics where it inspires agonistical ways of being based on shame and pity (aidos), in the arts in which harmony is based on atomism, both impressionistic and mimetic, in mathematics in which the methods (anthyphairesis, arithmogeometria) privilege a contemplative and yet sensuous (aesthesis) will. . . With this in view, the presence of amphibologies signalizes the resurgence of amphibolic structures in the discursive methods of representation

Resumo: Conforme retrata Platão na Apologia, o plano de defesa (p???est?) executado por Sócrates possui como núcleo a refutação (??e????) de antigas calúnias (dtaß??a?) contra ele proferidas, em detrimento das acusações que o conduziram a juízo; uma vez que não somente confere o filósofo um maior grau de temeridade àquelas calúnias ¿ em detrimento da ??aF? (acusação escrita) imposta por Meleto ¿ como lhes credita o resultado do julgamento (Apologia 35e-36b). Mas, qual seria a razão para semelhante alusão? Isto é, por que estaria Sócrates convicto de haver refutado a ??aF? que lhe fora imposta e não as antigas acusações? A presente dissertação sustenta que a principal causa desse ¿fracasso¿ assenta-se na impossibilidade de aplicação do ??e????, visto que a ausência de um interlocutor impede a realização da ???t?s?? (processo dialógico), procedimento sem o qual o método utilizado por Sócrates naquele texto faz-se inócuo. Destarte, posteriormente, Platão encontrar-se-ia na iminência de refutar aquelas acusações, contudo, sem utilizar-se para tanto do ??e????. Porém, como dar cabo de semelhante tarefa? Sugere-se que uma tentativa de solução apresentase no Laques, no processo de dramatização que engloba o diálogo. De modo que a ¿contextualização dramática¿ presente nesse texto, longe de constituir-se como reflexo de uma suposta genialidade literária de Platão, seja uma extensão da defesa apresentada na Apologia. Procedimento que possibilitaria uma reabilitação paulatina e propedêutica para Sócrates, e que se fundaria na exaltação ¿ por cidadãos distinguidos de Atenas ¿ das diversas a??ta? (virtudes) do mestre, assim como na crítica ao sistema jurídico vigente (Laques 184d-e). O que permitiu a Platão, em único tempo, ora refutar as calúnias postas na Apologia ¿ suprimindo a carência metodológica do ??e???? ¿ ora reabilitar, perante à pólis, a imagem do mestre injustiçado
Abstract: According to what states Plato in his Apology, the defense plan ((p???est?) executed by Socrates possess as its nucleus the refutation (??e????) of old slanders pronounced against him, to the detriment of the accusations that led him to court. Since it not only grants the philosopher a higher degree of temerity to those slanders ¿ because of the ??aF? (written accusation) imposed by Meletus ¿ but also credits them for the result of the trial (Apology 35e-36b). But what would be the reason for similar allusion? In other words, why would Socrates be convinced of having refuted the ??aF? that had been imposed to him and not the old accusations? This dissertation supports that the main cause of this ¿failure¿ lays on the impossibility of applying the ??e????. Therefore, the absence of a speaker prevents from carrying out the ???t?s?? (dialogic process), procedure without which the method used by Socrates in that text becomes innocuous. Thereby, later on, Plato would find himself in the imminence of refuting those accusations, however, without making any use for that matter of the ??e????. But how to do away with similar task? Is suggested that an attempt of solution presents itself in the Laches, in the process of dramatization that involves the dialogue. In that way, the ¿dramatic context¿ present in the text, far from constituting itself as a reflex of a supposed literary geniality of Plato, is an extension of the defense presented in the Apology. Procedure that would allow a slow and propaedeutic rehabilitation to Socrates, and that would be founded in the exaltation ¿ by distinguished Athens citizens ¿ of the many a??ta? of the master, as well as in the critic to the current legal system (Laches 184d-e). That is what allowed Plato, in a single time, one moment refute those slanders presented in the Apology, suppressing the methodological lack of the ??e????, the next rehabilitate, before the pólis, the image of his injusticed master

Full textPlato's relationship to classical historiography is not limited to the borrowing, with varying degrees of accuracy, of factual data, or even to making use of certain tools of the historian's craft, such as criteria for credibility or rhetorical techniques of otherness. For the whole of platonic philosophy must all -up to and including the great metaphysical dialogues- be weighed in relation to that influen- ce. One will not then understand the status of the herodotus-type narrative, if one fails to include it at the core of a general theory of mimesis, where it forms not so much the "model" of the philoso- phic discourse, as its "accompaniment", when the problem is one of discussing the affairs of mortal men in the cave persuasively. Thu- cydides's historical writing, however, by its claims to truth, sets the historian up as a rival to the philosopher. This is not because of ill defined or violated epistemological frontiers, but a result of the part thucydides and plato were trying to play in a city they both depict as diseased. In their rivalry to fill the office of the doctor-poli- tician required by the city, plato uses the idea as a means of dis- crediting the historian's knowledge and subject

Full textThis study is based on the thesis that Plato’s style in the Phaedrus creates the content. The study attempts to show that in order to describe this interaction one has to take into consider the enunciative aspects of the text, that is the enunciative situation into which every phrase subscribes and the way the author addresses to the reader. In fact, based on Bakhtin’s notion of the dialogism, our work defines the function of the style by the means of orchestrating a linguistic plurality: Plato presents different languages inside the dialogue, such as the poetic language, the orators’ technic language or also the language of the philosophers who had preceded him; he makes them interact and confront between them, creating by this a new concept of the dialogue’s object, i.e. the speech and the enamoured soul. The enunciative situation reveals the work done on the linguistic material and permits to implement the dialogue between different languages either by attributing these languages to different characters, who become themselves a source of the sense for the terms employed, or by adding to the word’s immediate context a much larger context who demands, for the same word, a new sense different from the one who is coherent with the immediate context. In addition, some particularities of the enunciative situation question the assumptions on which is based the understanding of any statement, in particular, the principle of non-contradiction : according to our theory, these particularities shouldn’t be erased, they correspond to Plato’s intention and form the interpretative riddles that Plato addresses to the reader
