In this paper we will focus on the reference to pleasure and pain with which Socrates opens his participation in the work, as well as on the first argument dedicated precisely to the cyclical nature of opposites.

El Fedón de Platón puede ser abordado tomando como eje la cuestión de los opuestos, que lo recorre en toda su extensión. En el presente trabajo nos enfocaremos en la referencia al placer y al dolor con la que Sócrates abre su participación en la obra, así como también en el primer argumento dedicado justamente al carácter cíclico de los opuestos. Examinaremos la amplia gama de ejemplos cualitativamente diferentes de contrarios que Platón ofrece y cómo esas diferencias repercuten en el valor de la argumentación. Nuestro análisis nos permitirá formular algunas apreciaciones del interés platónico en estos desarrollos que, para su adecuada interpretación, deben ser leídos a la luz de la distinción ontológica fundamental entre lo sensible y lo inteligible, presentada por primera vez en esta obra. Solo tras conseguir la aceptación de sus interlocutores acerca de que es necesario que los opuestos pueden coexistir y alternarse para explicar el cambio en lo generado, Platón podrá referirse a las determinaciones mismas que reciben las cosas por ellas designadas, aquellos contrarios mismos que no podrían llegar a ser nunca contrarios de sí mismos. Solo desde esta anticipación, creemos, se podrá dimensionar con justicia la importancia que dio Platón a la cuestión de los opuestos en el Fedón.       Facultad de Humanidades UNCo 2023-12-12 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares application/pdf text/html https://revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/filosofia/article/view/5551 ark:/s18537960/umo4vkxkj Páginas de Filosofía; Vol. 24 No. 27 (2023); 104-126 Páginas de Filosofía; Vol. 24 Núm. 27 (2023); 104-126 1853-7960 0327-5108 spa https://revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/filosofia/article/view/5551/62458 https://revele.uncoma.edu.ar/index.php/filosofia/article/view/5551/62519 Derechos de autor 2024 Páginas de Filosofía https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
