Abstract

This work dissertativo proposes an analysis on the role of the logos (discourse) dialectic, in the construction of the city of Montalvânia, from the speech philosophical founded on the ideal of excellence Montalvão, from an analogy with the discourse of ideal city, this in the Republic, of Plato. From this work platônica, intends to show that the "game" philosophical, that is, the free exercise of dialectic, is the best means pedagogical to educate a collectivity for justice and prepare the leaders to govern. Also wants this work show that, as well as the Greek philosopher Plato thought the pólis ideal, in the north of Minas Gerais, Antonio lôpo Montalvão also thought their ideal city, which called Montalvânia, where, according to him, should reign the justice and equality. The trajectory of Antonio Montalvão leads us to reflect the fact of a city as thought from the Greek philosophy. We must, in shaping Montalvânia, a "king-philosopher" as Plato wanted. We talk with Hanna Arendt, among other authors that will help us in this reflection on the concepts of truth, political and power. Finally, we want to demonstrate that Montalvão seemed to be agreeing that the power only provides, through the policy, that is, that the usefulness of the policy is the conquest of power.
