Abstract (en)

Knowledge has become a subject of great scope given the multiple disciplines that evoke it and whose research interests incur in a definition for it. The first disquisitions on knowledge were made under the dualistic view of materialism and idealism, both philosophical positions that determined the thinking of the West. Thus, since Classical Greece, thinkers such as Plato, among other classics, exalted this issue, but such dualistic treatment in the field of knowledge was strongly related to an ethical nature from which Plato himself was not released. This said, this article seeks to describe the gnoseological and ethical postulates in Plato in order to clarify the nexus between knowledge and human practice.

Keywords (en): ancient philosophy, Plato’s ethics, gnoseology, moral intellectualism, Plato’s Republic

Abstract (es)

El conocimiento ha incursionado como tema de gran alcance dadas las múltiples disciplinas que lo evocan y cuyos intereses investigativos incurren en una definición para este. Primeras cavilaciones acerca del conocimiento se adelantaron bajo una óptica dualista de materialismo e idealismo, ambas posturas de carácter filosófico que determinaron el pensar de Occidente. Dicho así, desde la Grecia clásica pensadores como Platón, entre otros clásicos, entronizaron esta cuestión, pero dicho trato dualista en el ámbito del saber estuvo fuertemente vinculado con una reflexión de talante ético del que Platón no se eximió. Con lo dicho, el presente artículo busca describir los postulados gnoseológicos y éticos en Platón con el fin de esclarecer el nexo entre conocimiento y práctica humana.

Abstract (pt)

O conhecimento entrou como um assunto de grande alcance dadas as múltiplas disciplinas que o evocam e cujos interesses investigativos incorrem numa definição para ele. As primeiras reflexões sobre o conhecimento foram avançadas sob uma perspectiva dualista de materialismo e idealismo, ambas posições de natureza filosófica que determinaram o pensamento do Ocidente. Dito isso, desde a Grécia clássica, pensadores como Platão, entre outros clássicos, entronizaram essa questão, mas esse tratamento dualista no campo do saber estava fortemente ligado a uma reflexão da disposição ética da qual Platão não se isentava. Com isso, este artigo busca descrever os postulados gnoseológicos e éticos em Platão, a fim de esclarecer a ligação entre conhecimento e prática humana.
