Resumo: | Assuming that Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics has incorporated several aspects of Plato’s philosophy, we aim to challenge some ethical presuppositions of dialectical metaphysics. For this reason, we have chosen Plato’s Seventh Letter because it reveals a clear interconnection between dialectical metaphysics and ethics. We will try to show how the Platonic dialectical metaphysics consists in the upward and downward movement of the principles; the first theoretical and practical exercise paves metaphysics, and the second practical and theoretical exercise establishes ethics. In Gadamer’s discourse, this is shown in the dialogical way of proceeding of philosophical hermeneutics which consists in the permanent intersection between the path of the word itself to the concept and vice versa. These indications are traces of a conception of metaphysics distinct from the one that has been explored by the contemporary philosophical tradition in general. Firstly, in order to establish the theoretical grounds of my argument, I will mention some of the ethical presuppositions of dialectical metaphysics and, secondly, we will demonstrate that the methodology peculiar to dialectical metaphysics is an ethical exercise. |

Elegemos como objeto de leitura filosófica a Carta Sétima de Platão do ponto de vista da imbricação entre metafísica dialética e ética. Trataremos de mostrar que a metafísica dialética platônica é tramada pelo movimento ascendente e descendente dos princípios; o primeiro exercício teórico-prático pavimenta a metafísica e o segundo exercício prático-teórico institui a ética. Em linguagem gadameriana, isso se estampa no modo de proceder dialógico da hermenêutica filosófica, sustentada sobre o entrecruzamento permanente entre o percurso da palavra ao conceito e deste à quela. Essas indicações apontam traços de uma concepção de metafísica distinta daquela que foi alvo, correto, de crítica de boa parte da tradição filosófica contemporânea. Fundamentaremos a reflexão explicitando, inicialmente, alguns pressupostos éticos da metafísica dialética, e, num segundo momento, justificaremos que a metodologia própria da metafísica dialética constitui um exercício ético.Cátedra UNESCO Archai (Universidade de Brasília); Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal; Annablume Editora, São Paulo, Brasil2016-04-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/867710.14195/1984-249X_17_1Revista Archai; No. 17 (2016): Revista Archai nº17 (maio, 2016); 13Archai Journal; n. 17 (2016): Revista Archai nº17 (maio, 2016); 131984-249X2179-496010.14195/1984-249X_17reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/8677/7357Rohden, Luizinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2018-06-08T13:27:01Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/8677Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2018-06-08T13:27:01Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false |

Assuming that Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics has incorporated several aspects of Plato’s philosophy, we aim to challenge some ethical presuppositions of dialectical metaphysics. For this reason, we have chosen Plato’s Seventh Letter because it reveals a clear interconnection between dialectical metaphysics and ethics. We will try to show how the Platonic dialectical metaphysics consists in the upward and downward movement of the principles; the first theoretical and practical exercise paves metaphysics, and the second practical and theoretical exercise establishes ethics. In Gadamer’s discourse, this is shown in the dialogical way of proceeding of philosophical hermeneutics which consists in the permanent intersection between the path of the word itself to the concept and vice versa. These indications are traces of a conception of metaphysics distinct from the one that has been explored by the contemporary philosophical tradition in general. Firstly, in order to establish the theoretical grounds of my argument, I will mention some of the ethical presuppositions of dialectical metaphysics and, secondly, we will demonstrate that the methodology peculiar to dialectical metaphysics is an ethical exercise. |
