10Meaning of logos and meaning of elements in Plato's Cratylus and TheaetetusMethodos 19. 2019.Pour Platon l'instrument principal de la connaissance philosophique est le logos, non seulement dans le sens général de « raison », mais aussi dans le sens spécifique de connaissance qui se réalise au moyen du « discours », c'est à dire d'une raison qui possède un caractère foncièrement linguistique. Cela semble impliquer que le logos a une nature entièrement transparente à soi même, et par conséquent, comme on peut le déduire de l'analyse consacrée dans le Théétète à la théorie du songe, que le…Read more

11Plato, Aristotle, or both?: dialogues between platonism and aristotelianism in antiquity (edited book)Georg Olms Verlag. 2011.This volume gathers an international team of renowned scholars in the fields of ancient greek philosophy, in order to explore the continuous but changing dialogue between Platonism and Aristotelianism from the early imperial age to the end of Antiquity. While most chapters concern Platonists (Philo, Plutarch, Plotinus, Syrianus, Proclus, Damascius, Philoponus), and their uses or criticism of Aristotle's doctrines, several chapters are also devoted to Peripatetic authors (Boethius and mostly Alex…Read more

4Essays on Plato's epistemologyLeuven University Press. 2016.An Innovating approach to Plato’s philosophy Through a careful survey of several significant Platonic texts, mainly focussing on the nature of knowledge, Essays on Plato’s Epistemology offers the reader a fresh and promising approach to Plato’s philosophy as a whole. From the very earliest reception of Plato’s philosophy, there has been a conflict between a dogmatic and a sceptical interpretation of his work and thought. Moreover, the two sides are often associated, respectively, with a metaphys…Read more

6Antiochus of Ascalon’s ‘Platonic’ EthicsElenchos: Rivista di Studi Sul Pensiero Antico 43 (1): 85-103. 2022.This article focuses on the Platonic version of the doctrine of oikeiosis set forth by Piso in Cicero’s De finibus, Book V. The article aims to show that: 1) Cicero’s account, while clearly having Stoic features, is also consistent with the eudaemonistic character of Socrates’ and Plato’s ethics; 2) the replacement of oikeiosis with “assimilation to god”, attested in a passage of the Anonymous Commentary on Plato’s Theaetetus, derives from the intent to remove Epicurean egoistic connotations fro…Read more

9Reminiscência e metafísica em PlatãoArchai: Revista de Estudos Sobre as Origens Do Pensamento Ocidental 26. 2019.Nos mais recentes debates críticos acerca da filosofia de Platão, a doutrina da reminiscência tem suscitado um interesse comparativamente menor em relação aos outros temas tratados na obra do pensador ateniense. Grande parte dos estudiosos modernos tende a considerar a reminiscência um método de pesquisa, bem como a marginalizar a referência a dois mundos e o trânsito da alma entre eles. O que pretendo demonstrar neste artigo é que não só a teoria da reminiscência é a condição de possibilidade n…Read more

3The platonical argumentationArchai: Revista de Estudos Sobre as Origens Do Pensamento Ocidental 4 11-27. 2010.This work aims to querying what are the limits of philosophical argumentation established by Plato and the distance of those limits in relation to Aristotle’s and later thinkers’ thoughts. The supposition here defended concerns to the fact that, for Plato, what really changes in the argumentations is that the definition becomes delimitation, that the logic replaces rethoric, that the demonstration becomes persuasion, if assumed the hermeneutical links that the thought and the language are subjec…Read more

7Significato del logos e significato degli elementi nel Teeteto e nel Cratilo di PlatoneMethodos. forthcoming.1. _ Doxa _ e _ Logos _ nel _ Teeteto _ Teeteto introduce la sua ultima definizione di _ episteme _, dichiarando di riportare l'opinione di una persona che resta anonima, con queste parole : " « Diceva che l'opinione vera sorretta da spiegazione è conoscenza, mentre quello che ne è privo non vi rientra.

16Heidegger e l’idea platonica del beneChôra 15 591-610. 2017.Dans un travail anterieur j’ai essaye de montrer que Heidegger a finalement refuse de faire place, dans sa philosophie, a la notion platonicienne d’idee, bien qu’elle semblait, selon un certain point de vue, etre une figure capable de representer l’ouverture originelle de l’être qui était au coeur des recherches de Heidegger dans les annees qui entourent Etre et Temps. La raison de cela, a mon avis, est que l’approche aristotelicienne de la philosophie de Platon par Heidegger explicitement adopt…Read more
