NUNES SOBRINHO, Rúbens Garcia. INTELIGÊNCIA E PSYKHÉ: A EPISTEMOLOGIA DE PLATÃO. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2007, vol.21, n.42, pp.89-117. Epub Feb 06, 2024. ISSN 1982-596X. https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v21n42a2007-465.
The question of knowledge, in Plato, represents a radical inflection towards the investigation taken by presocratics philosophers. The hypothesis of the intelligible Forms starts a philosophical procedure based on principles of intelligibility previous to phenomena wich articulate an explanatory principle of economy valid for all around the kósmos. The fundamental postulate that establish the preexistence of an accurate number of principles related to physis, allows Plato to base the ethical phenomena from his new epistemology which is founded on axiomatic causality of Forms.
