My formal training as a philosopher started during my freshman year (2000), when I had the chance to study Plato's political dialogues. Under Prof. Miguel Spinelli's supervision, I spent seven months learning how to read (mainly Republic, Sophist, Statesman, and Laws) and write about my readings.


The aim of this project was to reflect on the pedagogical roles of the law in Plato's political thought. The thematic turn that occurred in my formal training in the next months (when I started to study logic and its philosophy) implied no deflation of my respect for the Platonic style.


I read Plato in my methodological, my philosophy of mathematics and all my teacher training courses, and I kept and I keep coming back to Plato--though lately to learn more about and from Diotima.
