Resumo: This article aims to contribute to the image of the historical Plato. For this purpose, I have selected from the indirect tradition favorable to Plato nine testimonies, which shed some light on his personal character. I believe that this favorable tradition would represent more faithfully the philosopher of Athens than the hostile one. That is why I have tried to draw attention in the second part of the article on the possible connection between those indirect testimonies and some passages from the written dialogues. In fact, Plato’s benevolence and good disposition towards other people would correspond to those attitudes that are required from the interlocutor as preconditions for dialectic conversation. I suggest, finally, that both the personality of Plato and his work would be in harmony and that a key aspect of this harmony is represented by the positive and favorable predisposition towards others.

A tal fin he seleccionado de la tradición indirecta favorable a Platón nueve testimonios que arrojan cierta luz sobre su carácter personal. Considero que esta tradición favorable nos presentaría más fielmente al filósofo de Atenas que aquella hostil. Por ello he intentado llamar la atención en la segunda parte del artículo sobre la posible conexión entre aquellos testimonios indirectos y algunos pasajes extraídos de los diálogos escritos. En efecto, la benevolencia y buena disposición de Platón para con otras personas se corresponderían con aquellas actitudes que son requeridas del interlocutor como condiciones previas para la conversación dialéctica. Sugiero, en fin, que tanto la personalidad de Platón como su obra estarían en armonía y que un aspecto clave de esta armonía lo representa la predisposición positiva y favorable para con el otro.Cátedra UNESCO Archai (Universidade de Brasília); Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal; Annablume Editora, São Paulo, Brasil2018-12-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/20205Revista Archai; No. 25 (2019): Archai 25 (2019 [1]); e02505Archai Journal; n. 25 (2019): Archai 25 (2019 [1]); e025051984-249X2179-496010.14195/1984 -249X_25reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBspahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/20205/18608Spinassi, Miguel Ángelinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2019-08-19T15:34:17Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/20205Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2019-08-19T15:34:17Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
