Contrary to Plato, Aristotle limits the scope of justice to what is strictly human and, continuing a trend begun in the Sophistic movement of the fifth century B. C., breaks with its cosmic foundation. One of the most striking features of his writings of practical philosophy is the scant reference they make to the divine realm. When they do refer to it, it is primarily to emphasize the difference and not the connection between the two .the human and the divine spheres.

VII 517a8-521c1 conecta la alegoría de la caverna con el currículo de los filósofos gobernantes. Aunque en el pasaje se desarrollan puntos claves para la comprensión de la finalidad del diálogo, no ha recibido aún la atención que merece ni de la crítica antigua ni de la moderna. En él, (1) se defiende una concepción de la educación basada en la reminiscencia y en clara oposición a la sofística, (2) se define la posición de la Idea del Bien como el objeto de aprendizaje más importante y (3) se responde definitivamente a la pregunta de por qué los filósofos han de asumir el gobierno de la polis.

Su ideal ético consiste en la preservación de los movimientos ordenados del alma y la preservación de la calma

it builds the introductory quadrivium in the education of the guardians.But astronomy has for Plato not only a theoretical interest, its significance lies for him in the practical sphere as well. Plato's astronomical theories are connected with and based on the so called unwritten philosophy.

However, his approach shows the influence of Erasmus' view and of Scaliger's criticism of the it.

Une analyse minutieuse de Leg. V 739a1-740a2 montre clairement cette cohérence, en particulière la tournure "dieux ou fils des dieux" qu'y apparaît se rattache à l'état ordonné de l'âme et plus spécifiquement à la connaissance philosophique et n'indique pas l'abandonnement des positions de la République. De cette façon sont réfutées les thèses soutenues par A. Laks depuis quelques années sur le rapport entre la République et les Lois.
In spite of the usual interpretations there is a continuous dialogue between the Republic, the Statesman, and the Laws and not a break or a substantial change in Plato's political thought. A detailed analysis of Laws V 739a1-740a2 shows beyond all doubt this strict coherence, especially the expression "gods or children of gods" that appears in this passage is related to the ordered state of the soul and more specifically to the philosophical knowledge and does not point to a revision of the doctrines defended in the Republic, so that the interpretation of the relationship between the Republic and the Laws defended since the beginning of the 90'ties by A. Laks can be considered as definitively refuted.

But what about the possibility of these cities in speech? According to a strong scholar tradition, these two dialogues consider it impossible for these cities to exist in the sensible world. This paper adresses this issue and takes an opposite position. It claims that Callipolis and Magnesia must not be understood as utopian projects but as theoretical models that can be achieved.
