  1. The Relationship between Hypotheses and Images in the Mathematical Subsection of the Divided Line of Plato's Republic.Moon-Heum Yang - 2005 - Dialogue 44 (2):285-312.
    RésuméEn expliquant la relation entre hypothèses et images dans l'analogie de la ligne du livre Vl de laRépubliquede Platon, je m'attarde d'abordsur l'élucidation platonicienne de la nature des mathématiques telle que la conçoit le mathématicien lui-même. Je poursuis avec une critique des interprétations traditionnelles de cette relation, qui partent de l'assomption douteuse que les mathématiques s'occupent des Formes platoniciennes. Pour formuler mon point de vue sur cette relation, j'exploite la notion de «structure». Je montre comment les «hypothèses» comme principes de (...)

  • The Struggle with(in) Leontius’ Soul.Eduardo Saldaña - 2021 - Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie 103 (1):1-28.
    In Republic 4, Plato’s Socrates argues that there are three elements in the soul: the rational, the spirited, and the appetitive. This paper focuses on the argument distinguishing spirit from appetite in the story of Leontius. I shall argue that the rational element first opposes Leontius’ appetite and, when appetite overpowers reason, then Leontius’ spirited part opposes the appetitive. Consequently, there is a kind of disgust that would be appropriately characterized as rational; and, drawing on this consequence, I suggest that (...)

  • Belief, Knowledge, and Learning in Plato's Middle Dialogues.Michael L. Morgan - 1983 - Canadian Journal of Philosophy, Supplementary Volume 9:63-100.
    There is a problem about belief and knowledge in Plato's epistemology that has exercised serious students of Plato only to settle into a recent orthodoxy. Guthrie characterizes the problem and its current resolution this way: ‘In the Meno doxa appeared to be a dim apprehension of the same objects of which knowledge is a clear and complete understanding … in the Republic each is directed to different objects, knowledge to the Forms and doxa to the sensible world alone … at (...)

  • Socrate 'Dream' in the Theaetetus.Hans Meyerhoff - 1958 - Classical Quarterly 8 (3-4):131-.
    AT the beginning of the third part of the Theaetetus , Socrates entertains an interesting theory of knowledge in the form of a ‘dream’. In Cornford's translation, it reads as follows: I seem to have heard some people say that what might be called the first elements () of which we and all other things consist are such that no account () can be given of them. Each of them just by itself can only be named; we cannot attribute to (...)

  • Design of the Exercise in Plato’s Parmenides.Mary Louise Gill - 2014 - Dialogue 53 (3):495-520.
    Dans la première partie duParménide, Socrate présente une théorie des Formes qui explique la comprésence d’opposés dans les choses ordinaires et soutient que les Formes ne peuvent avoir des caractéristiques opposées. Dans la deuxième partie, Parménide s’appuie sur les propos de Socrate; il en dérive des conséquences inacceptables — que la Forme de l’Un n’existe pas, et ainsi, que rien n’existe. Cette conclusion est indéniablement fausse. Pour éviter ceci, Socrate doit abandonner la thèse exposée dans la première partie et trouver (...)

  • Mathematics, Mental Imagery, and Ontology: A New Interpretation of the Divided Line.Miriam Byrd - 2018 - International Journal of the Platonic Tradition 12 (2):111-131.
    This paper presents a new interpretation of the objects of dianoia in Plato’s divided line, contending that they are mental images of the Forms hypothesized by the dianoetic reasoner. The paper is divided into two parts. A survey of the contemporary debate over the identity of the objects of dianoia yields three criteria a successful interpretation should meet. Then, it is argued that the mental images interpretation, in addition to proving consistent with key passages in the middle books of the (...)

  • Qu’est-ce qu’une expérience «aisthétique» selon Platon?Franck Fischer - 2003 - Dialogue 42 (1):27-52.
    Selon Platon, la sensation n’est assurément pas en elle-même et par ellemême épistémique, car la science ne comporte rien de sensible, puisqu’elle advient sans l’intervention du corps, tandis que la sensation est précisément une affection qui unit âme et corps dans un même mouvementCe point fait l’objet d’un long passage du Théétète, au cours duquel la thèse de Protagoras selon laquelle science et sensation sont identiques est réfutée. Ceci est bien connu, mais il importe néanmoins de clarifier la raison pour (...)
