Plato’s Philosophy: A Comprehensive Overview

Plato-Parmenides:;


give priority to CNTO.
l rations that science is against the opinion that it is sensitive. Parmenides CNTO depreciates. Sensitive while Plato gives value since obeservaciond and things of the sensible world to serve occasion of remembrance.

Platon.Pitagoricos:

importance mathematics. Argue that the cosmos has a mathematical structure and everything that goes on can be expressed mathematically. Defend the metempsychosis, queafirma doctrine of immortality and transmigration of the soul.

Platon-Heraclitus:

Heraclitus actually undergone processing, permamanente change. Platon-sensitive things in the world subject to constant change.

Platon-sophists:

Teaching sophist: Speeches – Plato’s dialogue.
• Sophist: relativism and skepticism – Plato: Objectivism and the existence of absolute realities that underlie (Ideas).
• Sophist “logos” instrumental (power tool) – Plato “logos” led to the Good.

Platon-socrates:

I started in philosophy.

• It is present in almost all the writings of Plato (the “Dialogues”).
• Dialogue as a form of research and teaching.
• Theory of knowledge:
Science must refer to the universal, the Platonic theory of reminiscence, a necessary complement to the Socratic idea of knowledge.

• Anthropology: the primacy of the soul to the body.
• Ethics: care of the soul and moral and political intellectualism.
• Metaphysics: universal entities exist in Plato not only on the moral world.


. Reminiscence:

In the dialogue “Meno,” and during the study of virtue, Plato introduces the theory of reminiscenciaEsta theory is summarized in the idea that knowing is remembering. Plato certainly did not defend this view in respect of the particular skills such as those relating to specific points (for example, perceptual knowledge of the type “my table is black”) but on the knowledge provided with strict universality and necessity, knowledge as Mathematicians and you can discover the dialectic.

Plato believed that this knowledge can not be explained as excellent from the merely empirical or perceptual experience and advocated a nativist vision peculiar: when we know the truth of this kind are not really learning anything new, but our soul remembers a truth that had access before flesh and live in this material world, our soul remembers something that he met while living in the world of Ideas. Briefly, the theory of reminiscence defends the strange argument that the soul lives without the body in the world of Ideas, collecting the different ideas and their relationships is embodied, forget that knowledge, and, thanks to the intervention of a teacher , remember that knowledge gets forgotten. This is what happens to the slave who in the dialogue “Meno” succeeds, thanks to the relevant questions of Socrates, prove a mathematical theorem.
> The theory of reminiscence is the complement of the Socratic theory of knowledge and education: teaching is not to bring an insight into the mind of a subject, but encourage students to discover the truth inside.



Intelligible world:


this world can not be accessed with the use of the senses but it is reached by using the most excellent of the soul that Plato is larazón. The intelligible world is the true reality, this author has a religious character and consequences in the field of epistemology, ethics and politics. In the myth of the cave metaphor of the intelligible world is the accessing external world to the prisoner when he loses the chains and out of the cave. Plato establishes a hierarchy of entities that inhabit this world, ranking above all the ideas we find the idea of good, which in some texts seem to identify with God.. Although the logic that leads Plato to postulate the existence of this world you would be forced to admit as many ideas as there are universal terms, his view is influenced by evaluative considerations and thus, in the Parmenides dialogue, refuses to accept that Ideas may exist that correspond to realities or negative connotations concerning minor realities: Idea of hair, nail …, admitting only mathematical ideas and those with aesthetic and moral connotations.

World sensitive:

features this world are temporary, space, changing and corruptible. Our body is included in the material world. Sensible World of science but it is not mere opinion. In the myth of the cave, the metaphor of the sensible world is the world inside the cave. Sensible World Things have to be on the extent of the involvement or imitate the eternal world of Ideas. This world has been “made” (not created) by the Demiurge from the change and transformation that has on the subject report modeled the intelligible world.

Dialectica:


method rational cognitive activity because it is the exercise of reason , its object is the knowledge of the intelligible world, the relationships between ideas, their ultimate aim is knowledge of the Idea of Good and how it is the ultimate foundation of all reality, not based on perception , for the pure reason used the resulting knowledge is strict knowledge, universal knowledge and does not accept necesarioy hypothesis does not accept as true any premise that has not been questioned, looking for the ultimate meaning, the deeper reason for each subject matter .
The “opinion” or “doxa” is the title given by Plato to a form of knowledge. This knowledge is based on perception, refers to the tangible world, ie spatiotemporal things, physical entities, and in the level of knowledge, the kind of knowledge is lower.
> The review is divided into two species or types of knowledge: the conjecture, which is the knowledge we have of things when we see their shadows or reflections, and the belief, which is the knowledge we have of things when perceive directly and we form a view of them.
