- Title
Las figuras del justo y del injusto en República II como antecedentes del sofista y del filósofo en Sofista de Platón.
- Authors
Manuel ÁLVAREZ, Lucas
- Abstract
Taking into account the construction of characters and figures made by the interlocutors of Platonic dialogues, we will study that of the just and the unjust men (made by Glaucon and Adeimantus in Republic II) and that of the sophist (shaped by the Eleatic Stranger and Theaetetus in Sophist), without ignoring the peculiar presentation of the philosopher in this last dialogue. Once introduced those four characters, we will try to make clear the relations that turn the just and the unjust men into the precedents of the philosopher and the sophist. Finally, we will stress the consequences deriving from this hypothesis, in order to achieve a deeper comprehension of the Platonic interpretation of these two characters, the philosopher and his rival, the sophist.
