Platão crítico e herdeiro da tradição poética

Abstract

This dissertation has as objective to clarify some notions concerning the criticism of Plato poetry. For this, we sought to bring to light the traditional features of poetic discourse, exposing them as key in the development of his analysis. These features we can find in the poet’s relationship to the divine, in comparison with the diviner, and even at one point in the allocation of the poet as a guide. Undertake this conscious movement to traditional ways, without giving a thought; it is of great importance to redeem this figure to Hellenic eyes of Plato. Relate to the traditional sphere to that present in the Republic (even more practical) is the task to be sought.
