ALVAREZ, Lucas. Defining the Statesman by Thinking of the Dialectician? Notes on the Capabilities of Paradeigmata in Plato’s Statesman. Tópicos (México) [online]. 2025, n.72, pp.41-66.  Epub 11-Ago-2025. ISSN 0188-6649.  https://doi.org/10.21555/top.v720.2935.

In the framework of the discussion about the potential identification of the statesman with the philosopher in the post-Republic Platonic dialogues, this paper focuses on the approach proposed in Statesman. Specifically, it focuses on the use of a methodological resource, parádeigma, to which the interlocutors appeal to define the statesman. In this sense, we contribute to the discussion by identifying a series of contact points that unite the characterization of the statesman with that of the philosopher-dialectician that emerges in Plato’s late works.

Palabras llave : Plato; statesman; paradeigma; philosopher; dialectics.
