A República de Platão: a realidade sensível e a inteligível

Abstract

This research aims to study the work Republic of Plato, particularly in books VI and VII. The work will consist of three chapters: The analogy of the sun, The analogy of the divided line and The allegory of the cave. Thus, in the first chapter on the analogy of the sun, we will deal with who the philosopher is and the education a fair city offers. It still aims to understand in book VI the discussion that revolves around the idea of the good and the senses, especially the faculty of vision, which through the sun, the son of good, allows things to be seen. In the second chapter, The analogy of the line divided is shown from four sequences. In chapter third, The allegory of the cave refers to education or the lack thereof. Moreover, we can see the relation between the search for the beginning of all things and the knowledge of good.
