Abstract(s)
As Vidas e os Tratados Morais de Plutarco permitem‑nos estabelecer uma re‑ lação estreita entre paideia e sophia, no âmbito da actividade política. De facto, Plutarco valoriza, no processo de construção do ethos, a formação do indivíduo, pelo facto de a paideia contribuir para a activa participação cívica. Nesse sentido, pretendemos definir as qualidades e a paideia do filósofo e a forma como ele pode auxiliar ou mesmo intervir na politeia, recuperando Plutarco, na argumentação, a memória de filósofos do passado que se distinguiram pela influência que exerceram junto daqueles que detinham o poder. Plutarco, educador da Europa, oferece‑nos um quadro social em que a filosofia, por meio da ética, da paideia e da politeia, se distingue pela sua dinâmica.
Plutarch’s Vitae and Moralia allow us to establish a very close relationship between paideia and sophia in politics. In fact, in the process of constituting the ethos, Plutarch values an individual’s education, because paideia contributes to an active civic engagement. Having this in mind, we intend to reach a definition of the philosopher’s qualities and paideia and to analyse the way he can help or even intervene in the politeia, once Plutarch’s argumentation preserves the memory of the philosophers of the past who distinguished themselves by their influence on politicians. Plutarch, educator of Europe, offers us a social framework in which philosophy, through ethics, paideia and politeia, makes itself visible through its dynamics.
