Open-access APPETITE AND THE TRIPARTITION OF THE SOUL IN PLATO’S REPUBLIC

AuthorshipSCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

    ABSTRACT

    This paper intends to demonstrate how the text of the Plato’s Republic allows us to discuss the status of appetites and the appetitive principle (to epithymetikon) of the soul as different, trying to demonstrate that, when we do not exchange them for one another, the platonic theory of the soul is filled with even greater clarity and enables the reader to have a sharper understanding of the problem of possible psychic unity.
