Plato's Question "Why?": An Analysis of Resp. 509 b-c through Tim. 29 d-30 a.
In Resp. 509 b-c, Plato attributes to the Form of the Good an efficient causality, but he does not explain the matter in detail. This has led some scholars to interpret it in reference to the 'unwritten doctrines'. The aim of this paper is to link this passage to the cosmological myth narrated in th...

This has led some scholars to interpret it in reference to the 'unwritten doctrines'. The aim of this paper is to link this passage to the cosmological myth narrated in the Timaeus and to make sense of it in the light of Tim. 29 d-30 a, where Plato asks why the world of becoming exists in addition to the world of Ideas, and he gives an allegorical answer by appealing to the goodness of the Demiurge. Valstybėje (509 b-c) Platonas Gėrio Formai priskiria veikiančiąją priežastį, tačiau išsamiai šio klausimo jis nesvarsto. Dėl šios priežasties kai kurie mokslininkai šį klausimą interpretuoja, siedami jį su Platono „neužrašytomis doktrinomis“. Šio straipsnio tikslas yra susieti šį fragmentą su kosmologiniu mitu, kuris pateikiamas Timajuje, bei išsiaiškinti, kaip šį mitą interpretuoti Tim. 29 d-30 a kontekste, kur Platonas klausia, kodėl tapsmo pasaulis egzistuoja greta Idėjų pasaulio. Platonas čia pateikia alegorišką atsakymą, nurodantį į Demiurgo gerumą. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Problems / Problemos is the property of Vilnius University and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
