This paper addresses the question of the relationship between the diaita, that is, the psychophysical conditions related to nutrition, and the political regime that it generates in Plato's philosophy. It will be argued that the reasons that stimulate Plato's critique to the dietary nomos, that emerge in the V-IV BC centuries following the development of the culinary technique, are especially political reasons. Our purpose is to find the relationship between a food habit and a government's pattern. In order to attain the aim, the article is divided into the following parts: First, we argue about Plato's interest in foods and the effects that food has on individual and on political health; Then we examine the Plato's judgment about the new habits and their social influences; Finally, we analyse the relationship between diaita and politics in the Republic and Laws. Keywords: Plato, diaita, politics, nomos. ; Questo articolo si propone di esaminare la relazione stabilita da Platone fra la diaita, ossia l'insieme delle condizioni psicofisiche legate alla nutrizione, e il regime politico che essa genera. Il testo analizza le ragioni, soprattutto di ordine politico, che spingono Platone a criticare il nomos dietetico che fa irruzione nei secoli V-IV a.C. in seguito allo sviluppo raggiunto dalla tecnica culinaria. La proposta consiste nel trovare il legame che unisce un certo abito alimentare con l'instaurarsi di un certo tipo di governo. Al fine di attingere l'obbiettivo, l'articolo è suddiviso nelle parti seguenti: dapprima viene descritto l'interesse di Platone per la selezione dei cibi e per i loro effetti sulla salute individuale e politica; quindi si esamina il giudizio fornito dal filosofo in merito alle nuove abitudini e le loro influenze sociali; infine, si analizza la relazione fra diaita e politica presente specialmente in alcuni passi della Repubblica e delleLeggi. Parole chiave: Platone, diaita, politica, nomos.

L'obbiettivo del presente articolo è di circoscrivere ed approfondire lo studio di alcune strategie persuasive messe in atto da Socrate nel Gorgia platonico. Analizzando dapprima lo stile letterario, quindi gli scambi di battute fra gli interlocutori, ci proponiamo di evidenziare le ragioni della scelta platonica per lo stile drammatico, le strategie argomentative messe in atto dai protagonisti e le finalità in vista delle quali Platone crea un Socrate a due volti, un Socrate filosofo e un Socrate erista. In vista di ciò divideremo il testo in due sezioni principali: dapprima forniremo la cornice letteraria nella quale si inserisce il dialogo Gorgia; quindi esamineremo le strategie discorsive usate dagli interlocutori per difendere le rispettive tesi e giustificheremo la ragioni per cui la cura del discorso è importante per garantire un regime politico corretto. ; L'obbiettivo del presente articolo è di circoscrivere ed approfondire lo studio di alcune strategie persuasive messe in atto da Socrate nel Gorgia platonico.

The aim of this article is to investigate the persuasive strategies produced by Socrates in the Plato's Gorgias. First we'll analyse the literary style, then the dialectical practices between Socrates and the other people, specifically Polo and Calicles. Our aim is to highlight the reasons why Plato choices a dramatic style in Gorgias; the argumentative strategies put in place by the protagonist and the other dialogue's figures; and the Plato's aims to create a Socrates with two faces: a Socrates philosopher and an eristic Socrates. With these aspects in mind, this paper has two main objectives. First we will consider the literary framework in which the dialogue Gorgias is put; then we'll look at the discursive strategies used by the interlocutors to defend their arguments and justify why the care of speech is important to safeguard an appropriate politics.

The aim of this text is to emphasize the therapeutic dimension peculiar to political discourse in the practice of public office that the statesman acquires from the doctor-patient relationship, a fundamental issue in various Platonic dialogs and, especially, in two passages of the Laws. The intrinsic component of "therapy" that is distinctive of a use of the discourse in the political context relies on two aspects: a) the syggeneia between body, soul and discourse; b) the importance for the statesman, as well as for the physician, to be careful with the three constitutive aspects of the human being, body, soul and socio-political dimension, given the importance of their mutual influence in human life. In order to analyze the aforementioned aspects of the Platonic philosophy we use passages of Plato's Statesman and Laws, and we'll employ the Timaeus when necessary.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the political dimension of the relationship between the doctor and the patient, and the therapeutic dimension of the relationship between the politician and the citizen in Plato's philosophy. The purpose of the study is to show that the liaison between medicine and politics in the Platonic doctrine is not extrinsic, as if it were two disciplines analogous but of a different nature. We believe, on the contrary, that the relationship between the two sciences is substantial, by virtue of the political and therapeutic dimensions that both sciences essentially share. This affinity is possible as a result of the particular constitution of their object of study; the epistemological structure of the two sciences and the specific use of the persuasive discourse that both arts adopt to achieve their results. In order to examine our hypothesis we will investigate some passages from the Politicus, the Timaeus and the Laws.
