Abstract

This text aims to broaden some discussions around the methodological issues for the teaching of philosophy. Initially, we extract from Plato the notion of “philosophical images” – a concept created and obtained through the free interpretation based on some dialogues. This notion consists of a vast set of aesthetic representations that permeated the universe of the imaginary in the social and cultural context of Plato. In this perspective, the images assumed a pedagogical function contributing to the sensitive formation of the philosopher king. In a second moment of the text, we present two didactics for the teaching of philosophy, both interested in the methodological problematic. Sílvio Gallo and Lidia Maria Rodrigo, emphasize in their works the need to experience philosophy (live the concept) and overcome a dichotomy between cultural deficiency and philosophical rigor. Thus, the contribution of “philosophical images” to the teaching of philosophy could be justified by the intermediate character (metaxy) between the philosophical concept and the daily life of the students.
