Resumo

Gilles Deleuze's critical reception of Plato´s philosophy is developed under the formula of its reversal, the task Nietzsche entrusted future philosophy with. But what does this reversal mean? Deleuze's reversal of Platonism has been widely discussed. Most of the studies focus mainly on “Platon et le simulacre”, where Deleuze characterizes reversal on the basis of the concept of simulacrum, and his further elaboration in Difference and repetition.  An aspect of reversal that has not been considered so far is Deleuze's reversal of the Platonic image of thought, which is expressed through his critical reading of Plato's theory of anámnesis. In our paper we show that this criticism is a fundamental core of the task of reversal.

I am Philosophy Doctor at Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) and I specialize on The reception of Ancient Greek thought in Continental Philosophy. I was born in Cordoba, Argentina, where I studied Philosophy and obtained my degree at Universidad Nacional de Cordoba (UNC). The subject of my degree Thesis was the notion of episteme in Plato´s Theaetetus. Afterwards, I moved to Buenos Aires, where I continued my studies with a Doctoral Scholarship from the National Research Council. The main subject of my Doctoral Research was the reception of Plato´s thought in Gilles Deleuze´s philosophy. Currently I am a Faculty Member at Universidad Nacional de San Martín (UNSAM) and at Universidad de Ciencias Empresariales y Sociales (UCES), where I teach Ancient Philosophy and Ancient Greek. I carry on with my investigation thanks to a Postdoctoral Scholarship, also by the National Research Council.
