Plato’s Allusions to the First Principles?
Keywords:
Plato, Dialogue, unwritten doctrines, first principles, allusionAbstract
According to the indirect tradition, Plato taught in the inner circle of the Academy a philosophical ‘system’ based on two supreme principles: the One and the Indefinite Dyad. In this paper some excerpts of Plato’s written work are taken as possible references or allusions to said principles of his oral teachings. Without dealing with the philosophical significance that certain passages, read in the light of those testimonies, could have within the frame of their entire dialogue, four texts that could be understood as a tacit support by Plato to the One and the Dyad of his oral doctrines are selected.
