EnglishIn the “mathematical curriculum” articulated by Plato in Resp. VII, Socrates and Glaucon attribute to arithmetics, “logistike” and geometry a certain “power” (“dynamis”), which is described through images, metaphors, comical sketches, references to epos and tragedy. The analysis line by line of such a description helps us to understand that we are not only in front of the first formulation of “mathematical platonism” in our philosophical tradition, but that it is part of a more extensive theorization focussed on the power – exercised by mathematics (especially by some mathematical procedures) – of mediating between senses and mind, visible and invisible, movement/temporality and eternity.
