DOIS SENTIDOS DE PARTICIPAÇÃO EM PLATÃO

Abstract

 This paper aims to observe the occurrence of terms that say participation
in steps 130b and 130e of Plato's Parmenides in order to distinguish two conceptions
poorly explained in the studies of Platonic ontology: a sense of changeable participation,
which an entity can begin to partake in a Form and get a predicate and another sense of
eternal participation in which a participant eternally possesses a predicate (eg: three is
always odd), respectively associated with the terms μεταλαμβάνοντα and μετέχοντα. This
distinction becomes clearer in 155e and can be found elsewhere in the Platonic dialogues,
as for example in the Phaedo
