Uma teoria platônica do amor?

2021-03-09T21:36:15-03:00

There are two major paradigms in the interpretation of ancient philosophers: the analytical and the structural. Despite their particularities, they agree that philosophy is mainly a matter of theses, arguments and discourse, which leads them to ignore extra-discursive aspects of the texts. But if ancient philosophy is also, as Pierre Hadot pointed out, a way of life, this type of reading will have its limitations. I try here to consider these limitations with a discussion of Gregory Vlastos' thesis that there would be, in the Symposium (and other dialogues), a platonic theory of love, arguing that this dialogue is not a treatise on love, but a proteptic text about philosophy and the role that love has in its journey.

Razão de Estado e liberalismo em Michel Foucault

Abstract: The object of this article is Michel Foucault’s project of a history of the governmentalities as exposed in two of his Collège de France lectures: Security, territory, population (1978) and The birth of biopolitics (1979). It is about following Foucault’s genealogy of two governmental rationalities – reason of state and liberalism – under a prism that, on one side, focuses on the criticism of the centrality of the state in Political Philosophy’s discourse and, on the other, highlights the way in which the different techniques of government tend to phagocytize, answering to specific problems, the resistances which oppose them, continually reconfiguring themselves in this process. For this are analyzed the central axes of these two arts of government, as well as the reasons which conditioned the passage from one to another.

Keywords: Foucault, history, governmentality, reason of state, liberalism, power.

Through collations between Immanuel Kant’s and Friedrich Hegel’s theories of punishment, a comparison essay was carried out on the view of both authors on the subject. This analysis was made from aspects considered relevant, namely, freedom in the concept of crime, the influence of revenge on punishment and the need to respect the criminal's dignity. In the final considerations, the similarities and differences found around the concepts analyzed in both theories were evidenced.
