Platón: dualismo ontológico.
Como buen Griego Platón busca la verdad, la belleza y la bondad. Todas ellas están en la justicia, el equilibrio. Para Platón hay dos mundos, el sensible e inteligible. Cada alma humana debe encontrar el equilibrio en su vida (ética) para que la ciudad esté equilibrada (política) y vivir de acuerdo con la naturaleza (ontología), porque solo el que busca el conocimiento y lo encuentra con su alma en el mundo de las ideas irá por el buen camino (epistemología)

Plato's Philosophy: what is real? How can we be sure of our knowledge?
Main concepts: ontological dualism; harmony. Athens democracy had allowed Socrates' death, the best citizen according to his disciple Plato. Plato, coming from an aristocratic origin, could not accept that his loved city had committed such a crime. Plato's philosophy would be in consequence a search to improve Socrates main points while developing a better political structure.
His philosophy, labeled as ontological dualism developed an harmonic perspective which coordinated a symmetric position of his ontology, his epistemology, his ethics, his anthropology and his political proposals. His magistracy capacity to write dialogues to express his philosophy has consecrated his ideas as one of the pillars of our western civilization. |
