Platonic and pythagorean aesthetics The beauty for the Platonic philosophy is a approach through an upward process to the idea of beautiful so that the art reflects that its splendor, intuitable only after a long training, and avoiding the art that tries to imitate the reality that being a copy of the copy of the idea is only appearance and therefore deceptive, morally damaging, placed at a lower level of knowledge because it alienates instead of approaching so much that the modern conceptions of aesthetics would seem to be inspired by this ideal vision which sees a kind of splendor in the form. In the final analysis the idea of beautiful is the only one that can be intuited directly and leads to the contemplation of truths and to the real cultural formation. As regards the Pythagorean aesthetic conception is could say that it is similar but more linked to the number, to the mathematical harmony of the forms especially in the nature whose observation and study approaches to the Universal. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 01, 2018

 Platonic-Pythagorean philosophy modernity The Platonic-Pythagorean philosophy based on the dialectic is still modern twenty-five hundred years later; in fact the concepts presented are not changed and who wants to prove it will first be able to rebut the various arguments supported with valid reasoning, understandable, without using the tricks of rhetoric or other gimmicks that don't serve to weaken the potential of maieutics (a technique of investigation done by short questions and answers addressed in all directions until find the correct path). This is not a theatrical proceedings, a spectacle meant to give pleasure, without suffering or hard choices and for example Pythagoras probably was burned alive when a Croton was burned down his school, Socrates falsely accused drank without fear the hemlock, Plato in practice was condemned to death even though the sentence was commuted into slavery and later ransomed. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 22, 2016 n°: 3257 Platonic written with Pythagoreans terms A written discourse is not comparable in effectiveness to the oral dialectic based on the Socratic maieutic and the knowledge; moreover according to Plato (427 - 347 BC) was never written a speech of great quality and reliability both in the case of rhythmic prose, verse or in the case of written aiming to persuade according to a whole series of stratagems, rather than to teach. The best written should help the memory of those who already know with arguments concerning ideal values such as the Good, the Right and that can really learn and then come to write in the soul with clarity, completeness and reliability texts. Regarding the writer shouldn't be called wise, not suitable for the man who basically only knows not to know, but philosopher (a term coined by Pythagoras) content to try to search the True without ever bringing and continuing always to try. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 20, 2015 n°: 3000 Plato reply to the wickedness At first glance the status of the wicked man that command communities might seem enviable with the possibility to give orders of any kind to the many servants, to commit injustice and even boast of the unethical behavior, but Plato (427 - 347 BC) responds philosophically to this widespread popular mentality by defining the evil man as the most unhappy ever, in fact it starts a vicious cycle increasingly violent enough to make unfair man slave of himself, of vain shadows and of vile pleasures of the senses that leaving only pain to the end, then even the servants and friends are just miserable trembling slaves. It is not an advantage even the possibility of committing injustices go unpunished or falsely to believe to be good, since that paying a just punishment could heal the soul and then with the risk to remain sick and therefore increasingly unhappy and wicked. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 01, 2015 n°: 2721 Platonic substance A term that is also used in common language for example when it is said that the word is different but the "substance" has not changed refers to a specific philosophical concept identified by Plato (427 - 347 BC) acting within the doctrine of ideas, in fact the change relates the quality and not the basic idea that remains unchangeable and is the true reality as opposed to the one that appears, that it is just like a faded reflection of the Idea and therefore of the essence or substance of the manifold. We must distinguish however the reference to a specific situation of common life and then ended, as a human story, by the reference to the ideal infinite, since there is no relationship between finite and infinite, and indeed are just the opposite and it is difficult to prove in a dialectical argument a reference of the real-life to two opposing concepts because could be ironically easily refuted. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 01, 2014 n°: 2406 Platonic calm and reflexivity For the opinion of the philosopher Plato (427-347 BC) in the misfortunes and illnesses is preferable to maintain a calm attitude and thoughtful because it does not bring any benefit in these cases fidget and bear with malice human affairs often imponderable as common sense suggests, then for example if receive a blow not need to spend the time to scream as do the children who held with the hand the affected part, but to accustom the mind to heal the damage received as soon as possible and replace the whining with the medicine. The tendency to make us to remember the suffering is caused by a very emotional part of the soul that could be called "irrational", while the best part tends to calm, to reflexivity to rationally deal with the incident without putting on a show, so the poets prefer try to imitate with their writings inconvenient feelings maybe exaggerating ignoring the best part of the soul. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 13, 2013 n°: 2314 Platonic suggestion from supercelestial origin Among the arguments most fascinating and at the same time not really clear incurred by Plato philosopher (427-347 BC) there are those concerning the prompter of unknown origin which prohibits with a warning to Socrates to take some initiatives that might be contrary to the philosophical reasoning and to the Well idea, maybe this is just the voice of conscience or that kind of impediment that many feel in their hearts as soon as an action is perceived to go against the ethics, but more likely it was indeed signals by the so-called supercelestial. When Socrates spoke explicitly of this inner prompter, that not advised and rather forbidding (for example to deal with the administration of the polis), opponents accused him of wanting to propose new divinity and also did so for this reason to condemn him for impiety. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 29, 2013 n°: 2222 Platonic ethics According to Plato, it is unethical for the right man harm in any case, and this consideration obtained by the dialectical technique about the affirmation cited by Polemarchus in a dialogue with Socrates that justice would be to return to each his due, and thus lead well to friends and damage to enemies, but after analyzing the issue leads to the observation that men become more unjust if mistreated, so also in this case it would be better to act benevolently. Continuing the dialogue bursts impetuously Thrasymachus as a starved wolf saying (practically to payment) that the right would not be more than the interest of the stronger, but Socrates points out that the strongest can also make mistakes then they at least tried to exercise the right his art can not cause the own just of the art, for example the doctor usually aims to heal the sick and do not to get rich that is part of the mercenary art. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 27, 2013 n°: 2145 Platonic irony with different shades In Plato's dialogues as well as the dialectic made of short questions and responses in rapid succession to shed light on a subject sometimes in this type of investigation to be able to bring out the truth the philosopher uses the irony to varying extents, with no intention to humiliate the opponent and simply exercising it on who has claim to know without having a precise knowledge or awareness. This type of expedient was devised by Socrates (469 - 399 BC) to capture the subtleties of interpretation used by the "sophists" and with fine irony flip their thesis and therefore in practice be able to elucidate them with the same methods applied without rhetoric. The ability of speaking used to confuse reasoning is rapidly detected and reported on the furrow of the reason and also refuting and accusing sarcastically the opponent to make them understand the absurdity of the arguments. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 05, 2013 n°: 2100 Platonic concept and idea Building on the important "concept" that Socrates (469-399 BC) places at the base of each coherent discussion as a kind of goal Plato takes a small step moving from concepts to ideas posed in a transcendent world (the so-called supercelestial) respect to the material senses, but not for this reason not common to all, otherwise there would be practically nothing to argue to find some kind of agreement. Ideas already exist in us and the soul will lose the memory until the time with a dialectical reasoning can not find a path for attempts, called anamnesis, to can resurface to the memory. Aristotle developed the philosophical arguments distinguishes these moments in two logical phases, the first in which we try to understand the first principles of all science and a second in which the syllogism is passed through from concept to concept in a kind of almost mathematical demonstration. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 12, 2012 n°: 2080 Soul training  ... ^ 2 3 4 5
