Summary: This paper deals with some philosophical uses of logos prominent in platonic dialogues, namely those associated to contrasting logical and-epistemological contexts. Contraposed to some non-predicative conceptions, the ‘predicative’ theory of logos (Sophist 261-264) culminates Plato’s research on the subject. In the “socratic” dialogues it focuses on the request to answer the “What is?” question with a logos, to which corresponds, in the Phaedo and the Republic, the logon didonai requirement as proof of knowledge. As examples of sophistic uses of logos it examines three infallibilist and non-referentialist conceptions of logos advanced in the Euthydemus, the Theaetetus and the Cratylus. Having analyzed three cases of non-predicative logos, the paper suggests that with the predicative theory of logos Plato aims at enabling discourse to get at the knowledge of “what is”.

Contraposta a vagas concepções ‘não-predicativas’, a teoria ‘predicativa’ do enunciado (Sofista 261-264) culmina a pesquisa sobre o logos, desenvolvida nos diálogos. Da obra “socrática”, retira o pedido de resposta à pergunta “O que é?” por meio de um logos, correspondida, no Fédon e na República, pela exigência de logon didonai como prova do saber. Noutro plano, exemplificando usos sofísticos do logos, são expostas três concepções infalibilistas e não-referencialistas de logos, avançadas no Eutidemo, no Teeteto e no Crátilo. Depois de analisar três casos de logos não-predicativo, o texto defende que, com a teoria predicativa do logos, Platão visa a habilitar do discurso para o conhecimento de “o que é”.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/1279610.14195/1984-249X_24_6Revista Archai; No. 24 (2018): Archai Journal nº24 (September, 2018); 179Archai Journal; n. 24 (2018): Revista Archai nº24 (setembro, 2018); 1791984-249X2179-496010.14195/1984-249X_24reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBporhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/12796/11180Santos, José Gabriel Trindadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-08-19T15:34:21Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/12796Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2019-08-19T15:34:21Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
