Abstract

The De liberis educandis and the De Iside et Osiride are specifically related to paideia: the former work analyzes how to train a student in philosophy; the latter shows how a person educated in philosophy could relate himself to a cult alien to Greek religious tradition. In fact, only through philosophy it is possible to understand the deeper meaning of a mythology which is quite different from the Greek one. In fact, the concept of dualism is hidden within the strange tale of Isis and Osiris, or rather, a notion that only a philosophical-allegorical interpretation may reveal.

Summary

Ennio Sanzi

O De liberis educandis e o De Iside et Osiride podem ser relacionados na acepção da educação de ambos os opúsculos. No primeiro se analisa as condições básicas para fazer de um estudante um filosofo; no segundo se demonstra o comportamento que precisa ter uma pessoa educada pela filosofia ao relacionar-se a um culto que está colocado fora da tradição religiosa grega. É somente graças à formação filosófica que é possível colher o sentido profundo de uma mitologia que parece tão diferente daquela grega. Trata-se de um mito estrangeiro, absurdo e que, todavia, esconde na trama do relato, o conceito do dualismo que somente uma interpretação filosófico-alegórica permite de atingir.
