Question

9-Como a dialética nos auxilia a chegar á episteme?​

Answer 1

his work investigates the constitution of philosopher’s portrait and its opposition from others discourses’ produtors genders living in athenian classic polis, such as the rethor, the sophist and the poet. The main purpose is to underline the substancial differences between the real science of dialectic and its opposites. The term ‘philosophy’ was employed by Plato on IV century b.C. in a strict sense of an accurate knowledge, which aprehend the inteligible, incorporeal and invisible Forms. Plato’s written activity points out the coexistence between figurative and rational discourses, in which he conceives the mythical and philosophical nature of being and no-being, of opinion, described as an intermediate of unmixed being and absolute no-being, and science. Dialectic is determinated as the art originated from the supreme Muses, being a psicagogic wisdom, not merely a method, but the highest science, which articulates unity and phaenomenic plurality, and the philosopher as Muses’lover, analysing the nature of idolopeic art and its political and epistemological consequences. Dialectic is the proper science of a dianoetic and mnemonic soul. If the sophist and the rethor begget a doxastic imitation, based on antilogic art, if poet realizes an imitation of appearances, the philosopher produces a wisdom imitation, based on the science of truth, knowledge and being. The meaning and explicitation of this thesis try to redefine and rethink the significance of dialectic on the Dialogues, in which this term appears. This research avoids to use modern categories of thought to understand the Dialogues. This study focuses precisely on Meno, Phaedo, Republic V, VI, VII, Phaedrus, Sophist and Philebus
