A questão da relação entre a filosofia platónica e o teatro é muito debatida e já tem sido amplamente explorada, com atenção particular a estes dois aspectos: o problema ontológico e gnosiológico da mimesis, por um lado, e o problema da função pedagógica da poesia trágica e cómica, por outro. Nas páginas seguientes envergaremos por outro caminho pouco conhecido. Trata-se de comparar as stratégias das respectivas escritas, de Platão e dos dramaturgos, à volta de um problema comum à filosofia e ao teatro: o papel da ilusão na representação e na interpretação da vida política e intelectual da cidade. Mais especificamente, iremos comparar o mito da caverna, no livro VII da República e o diálogo entre Sócrates e Adimanto sobre a poesia no livro III, com alguns textos cómicos e trágicos de Aristófanes – Rãs e Paz – Sófocles – Antígona - e Eurípides – Bacantes.

Abstract

The problem of the relationship between Plato’s philosophy and theatre is very debated. More specifically, this issue has been widely explored with particular attention to these two aspects: the ontological and epistemological role of mimesis, on the one hand, and the pedagogical function of tragic and comic poetry, on the other. In the following pages, we will turn on another side, much less known, of the question. In effects, we will compare the respective strategies of Plato’s and Athenian dramatists’ writing, in relation to a problem that equally involves both philosophy and theatre: the role of illusion and deception in the representation and interpretation of the political and intellectual context of the city. We will compare the myth of the cave, outlined in book VII of the Republic, and Socrates’ and Adeimantus’ dialog about poetry in book III, with some comic and tragic texts by Aristophanes – Frogs, Peace – Sophocles – Antigones – and Euripides – Bacchae.
