APPETITE AND THE TRIPARTITION OF THE SOUL IN PLATO’S REPUBLIC
Keywords:
Plato, Republic, Soul, Appetite, Ancient ethicsAbstract
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.
