SILVEIRA, Carlos Roberto da; MASCIA, Márcia Aparecida Amador y AZEREDO, Luciana Aparecida Silva de. Philosophy and Education as “Way of life”: care for the self, care for the others and gratitude to Asclepius. Educação e Filosofia [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.70, pp.279-306. Epub 06-Feb-2022. ISSN 1982-596X. https://doi.org/10.14393/revedfil.v34n70a2020-51259.
This article is part of the results of a research undertaken in the Research Group GPEFE - Grupo de Pesquisa Estudos Foucaultianos e Educação at the University São Francisco. The analyzes depart from philosophical theoretical references from the Greek Antiquity, especially Plato, and advance with contemporary authors such as Nietzsche, Foucault, among others, in order to examine Socrates' cryptic request to Crito, when Socrates asked that he sacrificed a cock to Asclepius. What did Socrates mean by this “enigma”? “-We owe a cock to Asclepius”. So we ask: was Socrates healed? Healed of what disease? Diseases? Which book or books of Plato could enlighten (who knows) the riddle? Who was the god Asclepius? When did Asclepius become important to the Hellenes? What is the symbol of the cock for the Athenians? Is there a legacy through this puzzle that can somehow help us to educate and educate ourselves? Can such readings be important to the sphere of Education?
