ALVAREZ, Lucas Manuel. The Sophist Dialogue as a Not-Allegorical Recreation of the Cave's Image. Eidos [online]. 2022, n.38, pp.40-70.  Epub 28-Mar-2023. ISSN 1692-8857.

The purpose of this paper is to show that the Sophist dialogue can be read as a not-allegorical recreation of the cave's image found in Republic VII. Through a parallel reading of both texts, we will try to prove that this late work systematically recreates not only the successive phases of the said Socratic image, but also parts of its vocabulary, its ontological classifications, its pedagogical interests and even its practical and political commitments. This reading will lead us both to clarify some unclear senses of an image such as the Allegory's (that, being an outline, leaves much unsaid) and to read the Sophist dialogue, whose unity has been questioned, as a whole, while evidencing some dimensions of the dialogue overlooked by the interpreters.
