Abstract
Platón, en el Político, recurrió al paradigma
del arte de tejer para definir la técnica que
debe poseer el buen gobernante. Sin embargo, con
esta analogía Platón equiparó la actividad política
con la actividad más característica de la mujer en
la antigua Grecia. De este modo, Platón reconoció
que el filósofo-rey, tal como había sido expuesto
en la República, debía dar paso a un experto que,
como las mujeres tejedoras, conocen bien su técnica
a la hora de entrelazar el tejido social. No
obstante, Platón no hizo más que proponer un
modelo que ya había sido puesto en boca de Lisístrata
por Aristófanes, al postular irónicamente un
gobierno regido por las mujeres, expertas como
nadie en el arte de tejer
In the Statesman Plato resourced to the paradigm of the art of weaving to define the technique that the good governor must possess. However, with this analogy Plato equated political activity with the most characteristic of women’s activities in Ancient Greece. In such a way, Plato recognized that the philosopher-king, as he had put forward in the Republic, should give way to an expert that, like women weaving, knows the technique to weave the social fabric well. However, Plato did nothing more than propose a model that had already been put in Lysistrata’s mouth by Aristophanes, when ironically postulating a government headed by women, who had no match in the art of weaving.
