Opinión e idea en Platón: la importancia de la enseñanza de la filosofía y del filosofar
This article aims to critically analyze the concepts of "opinion" (δόξα) and "idea" (ἰδέα) in the light of Plato's Republic and their influence on basic and secondary vocational education. It is part of a joint work between the teaching of Philosophy and philosophizing. A first section refers to the concept of opinion as an initial path that encour...
Le Phèdre de Platon et l’Académie
Notre texte se fonde sur l’hypothèse selon laquelle Platon traite dans le Phèdre de questions relatives à l’Académie qu’il a fondée. La scénographie du dialogue est examinée en tant qu’évocation de la situation topographique de l’Académie et du symbolisme qui lui est associé. La proposition d’un modèle éducatif différent de celui qu’illustre la rel...
Mímesis y prâxis: República I, II, III y X
Resumen El presente escrito presenta una lectura actualizada de la confrontación platónica de República I, II, III y X con los poetas.

Homero, Aristóteles y la naturaleza de la compasión
This paper explores aspects of what I shall call pity or compassion in Homer (especially Iliad 24) and Aristotle (especially the Rhetoric), but nothing very much hangs on the precise terminology. The phenomena covered by terms such as “compassion”, “sympathy”, “empathy”, and “pity” (and their analogues, where they exist, in other languages) constit...
La concepción platónica de la verdad ontológica en la República a la luz de la verdad predicativa del Sofista
This paper aims at reconstructing the ontological conception of truth in Republic v-vi in the light of the predicative conceptualization of truth developed in the Sophist. My interpretative hypothesis is that in both dialogues Plato distinguishes truth from its conditions of possibility, in particular, its ontological basis. I will try to show that...
The Women’s Law (tou gynaikeiou nomos) in the Kallipolis of Plato’s Republic
The Women’s Law discussed in book V of the Republic, known as the first wave, is a notorious example of Socrates’ reformist intention to achieve justice in the polis. The legislation for women, in general, has historically been relegated by the Republic interpreters. This paper aims to analyze this passage, from 449a to 457c, through the arguments ...
Koinōnía y Justicia. De la República al Parménides
The main reason why the developmental interpretation of the platonic Parmenides believes this dialogue constitutes a crisis in the development of Plato’s thought is the idea that the philosopher criticizes therein its Theory of Ideas of the middle period – Phaedo, Symposium, Republic. The theory supposedly criticized would conceive the Ideas as abs...
Aristotle on the Demise and Stability of Political Systems
This article examines Aristotle’s theory of ‘factional conflict’ (stasis) in Book 5 of the Politics and claims that it is mainly directed against the a-historical account of constitutional change Plato develops in the Republic. Aristotle’s investigation of the causes of stasis is oriented towards the normative political goal of stabilizing politica...
El comercio según Platón: ¿factor de división o de comunidad política?
“Commerce according to Plato: a factor of division or political community?”. It is often thought that the Greek philosophers despise both wholesale trade between cities as retail trade within cities. According to this lengthy interpretive tradition, Plato conforms on this matter to Homeric and Hesiodic poetry: commerce has a reputation as a trade a...
