Resumo: The main aims of this article are to demonstrate the presence of two physiological conceptions of pleasure in the Hippocratic Corpus, pointing out the differences between them and conjecturing about the reverberation of one of them in Plato’s dialogue Gorgias. We can find in texts of Greek medicine a description of pleasure produced during sexual intercourse and another related to the occurrence of pleasure during nourishment. However, the second account, unlike the first one, is strongly marked by the notion of pleasure as replenishment. Identifying a physiological conception of pleasure featured by a process of filling in the Hippocratic Corpus is relevant because a very similar conception seems to be taken as starting point by Plato in his reflections on pleasure.

Veremos que podemos encontrar em textos da tradição hipocrática uma descrição da produção de prazer durante a relação sexual e uma outra relacionada à ocorrência de prazer durante a ingestão de alimentos, sendo que a segunda, diferentemente da primeira, é fortemente marcada pela noção do prazer como repleção. A identificação de uma concepção de ordem fisiológica acerca do prazer caracterizada por um processo de repleção no Corpus Hippocraticum é relevante pois uma concepção muito semelhante parece ser tomada como ponto de partida por Platão em suas reflexões acerca do prazer.Cátedra UNESCO Archai (Universidade de Brasília); Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal; Annablume Editora, São Paulo, Brasil2018-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/1278910.14195/1984-249X_24_1Revista Archai; No. 24 (2018): Archai Journal nº24 (September, 2018); 17Archai Journal; n. 24 (2018): Revista Archai nº24 (setembro, 2018); 171984-249X2179-496010.14195/1984-249X_24reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/12789/11175Conque, João Gabrielinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-08-19T15:34:23Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/12789Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2019-08-19T15:34:23Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
