Abstract

This article is about the issue of Time in the thought of Plato through which we attempt to demonstrate two main hypotheses: on one hand, through three philosophical equations, Plato discovers the Time in the way of the past as the metaphysical scope by excellence; however, on the other he recovers it as he creates the concept of Idea.
