The "image" of the cave and the constant temptation to correct Plato: Benjamin Jowettt as an example

Translations of the first chapters of Book VII of Plato's Republic, in which he introduces the well-known image of the cave, eikón, reveals an astonishing and intriguing variety of interpretations of this image: "allegory", "myth", "fable", "parable", "simile" and "comparison", to cite but a few. Taking as an example the work by Benjamin Jowett, the Victorian translator of Plato, remarkable for its textual accuracy and by means of a close analysis of the terms related to the image, this paper insists on the need to neither interpret nor correct the great ideal philosopher, in this case revealing some evident contradictions that arise when this advice is not followed and pointing out the occasional use of terms extraneous to the Platonic lexicon such as "allegory".

La "imagen" de la caverna y la tentación constante de corregir a Platón: Benjamin Jowett como ejemplo

Las traducciones de los primeros capítulos del libro VII de la República de Platón en los que aparece su famosa imagen de la caverna, eikón, presentan una sorprendente e intrigante variedad interpretativa: "alegoría", "mito", "fábula", "parábola", "símil", "comparación"... Este artículo, tomando como ejemplo la notable fidelidad al texto del traductor victoriano de Platón, B. Jowett, y mediante un análisis riguroso de los términos que acompañan la imagen, mantiene la necesidad de no interpretar ni corregir en este caso al gran filósofo idealista o "ideocéntrico", señalando al mismo tiempo, si es otro el proceder, las contradicciones resultantes y el uso de algún término ajeno al léxico platónico como "alegoría".
