Keywords: The Good; ‘connecting altogether’ (sundein); ‘participation’ (methexis); dualism
Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show, through a precise commentary of Plato’s Phaedo, c 5–6, that the transcendent Idea of Good assumes the role of connecting altogether’ (sundein) the intelligible to the sensible. Th is argument proves, against the common point of view of the commentators, that this dialogue is not a ‘dualistic’ one. The paper insists also on the differences between the Good in the Phaedo and the Good in the Republic and the Philebus.
