Resumo

Em um artigo de 1985, intitulado “The Art of Glaukos”, Diskin Clay sugeriu que a passagem enigmática do mito geológico do Fédon referia-se ao livro X da República, onde a alma é conectada a Glauco, criatura marinha cuja verdadeira natureza, tal como a da alma, é ofuscada pelas distorções impostas pela vida subaquática. Começando com uma defesa da engenhosa sugestão de Clay, meu propósito é comparar o Fédon a Glauco, afirmando que sua verdadeira natureza foi ofuscada por suposições tradicionais sobre a ordem em que Platão compôs seus diálogos e, assim, sobre como eles deveriam ser lidos. Ao menos em parte, a razão pela qual a tese de Clay não tem sido endossada reside no fato de que ela colide com o dogma de que o Fédon não pode referir-se retroativamente à República. Gostaria de desafiar esse dogma. Tomando emprestado de Catherine Zuckert a noção de que, porquanto o Fédon apareça no final da estória de Sócrates, ele pode ser prolificamente lido como o auge dos diálogos platônicos, mostro como um Fédon “tardio” – isto é, uma leitura do diálogo aberta à possibilidade de que ele se refira a mais de um diálogo normalmente considerado mais tardio que ele em termos de composição – recupera sua verdadeira natureza, atualmente encrustada com ostras e algas de um ultrapassado desenvolvimentismo que ofuscou esta obra-prima culminante da arte dramática e filosófica de Platão.
