Verdad y muerte: Sócrates y Calicles en pugna

Abstract

This works examines the most crucial dialog in Plato’s Gorgias, where Socrate confronts Calicles. The assumption is that this dialog is fundamental in Platonic philosophy, which is considered, in turn, a matrix in the philo-sophical project of Metaphysics. Such a view is conceived in Gorgias as a net of power and knowledge interrelations, established from a radical reflection about death as a basis for life and truth. This analysis intends to validate such hypothesis.
