Abstract

In the Phaedon, Plato offers a portrait of his Theory of Ideas. We intend to show that the motive of the definition of the ideas, present throughout the dialogues, appears in the Phaedon in connection to the distraction of the objective reality independent of discourse from the one construed by men, always hypothetical – thereof emerges the possibility of proper philosophical discourse.
