| Summary: | In the Greek world, the metaphorization of knowledge is rooted in the pair of blindness and illumination. Plato holds that the eye is not only capable of seeing but also of contemplating, so that whoever does not grasp the essence remains in a state of complete blindness. Aristotle, by contrast, proposes a radical option: either one has knowledge - I know and I see - or, conversely, one does not know and does not see. These descriptions enable Linda Napolitano, an expert in the history of ancient philosophy, to trace a path for reflecting on whether knowledge pertains to a private or social sphere, to a religious or secular domain. Within this framework, dialectics acquires a pedagogical and ethical value, offering a key of interpretation that interpellates both philosophy and contemporary education. From this ground, the research evokes the vitality of the cognitive element and its unprecedented character through the development of the visual metaphor. |
