Resumo: Although the Sophist is the work that most explores the interrelationships between the Forms, it is possible to see in the Republic the affirmation of the existence of a “community of Ideas among themselves” (476a6-7). An example of this interrelation is presented in the Idea of the Good that causes the “being” of the other Ideas (509b7-8). It is noteworthy that this statement is revised in the Sophist, where this same “being” of the Ideas is explained by another cause, the Idea of Being (256a et passim). To evaluate the presence or not of this “revision”, this article will pursue the answer to three questions: (i) whether the predicate caused by the Good in the Republic has the same meaning as that caused by the Idea of Being in the Sophist; (ii) whether it is possible to establish a working rule for the causation of predicates within the so-called Theory of Ideas; (iii) whether Plato is correcting his Ontology in the Sophist.

A apresentação de um exemplo dessa interrelação é a Ideia de Bem que causaria o “ser” das outras Ideias (509b7-8). Chama a atenção o fato dessa afirmativa ser revista no Sofista, no qual este mesmo predicado das Ideias é explicado por outra causa: a Ideia de Ser (256a et passim). Para uma avaliação da ocorrência ou não desta “revisão”, o presente trabalho perseguirá a resposta a três perguntas: (i) se o predicado causado pelo Bem na República tem o mesmo significado que aquele causado pelo Ser no Sofista; (ii) se é possível estabelecer uma regra de funcionamento da causação dos predicados dentro da assim chamada Teoria das Ideias; (iii) se Platão está corrigindo sua Ontologia no Sofista.Revista HypnosHypnos Journal2022-10-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/660Revista Hypnos; n. 49 (2022); 148-167Hypnos Journal; No. 49 (2022); 148-1672177-53461413-9138reponame:Hypnosinstname:Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)instacron:FSBporhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/660/635Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Hypnoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBraga da Silva, Andre Luiz2022-10-29T01:08:29Zoai:ojs.hypnos.org.br:article/660Revistahttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnosPRIhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/oairachelgazolla@gmail.com2177-53461413-9138opendoar:2023-01-13T09:47:11.419778Hypnos - Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)false

description Although the Sophist is the work that most explores the interrelationships between the Forms, it is possible to see in the Republic the affirmation of the existence of a “community of Ideas among themselves” (476a6-7). An example of this interrelation is presented in the Idea of the Good that causes the “being” of the other Ideas (509b7-8).
