Abstract
Mucho se ha escrito acerca del significado de las últimas palabras de Sócrates en el Fedón (118a7-8): “Critón, debemos un gallo a Asclepio. Pues bien, ¡páguenselo! Y no se descuiden…”. En el presente trabajo nos proponemos retomar el enigma de la deuda con Asclepio a fin de rescatar cierto matiz político presente en él. Para ello, tras reseñar brevemente las principales interpretaciones que se han dado en el último siglo, nos detendremos en la concepción socrática del nacimiento y de la vida en tanto fenómenos eminentemente políticos para, a partir de allí, repensar el status de su muerte en esa misma clave.
Much has been written about the meaning of the last words of Socrates in the Phaedo (118a7-8): “Crito, we owe a cock to Asclepius. Well, pay for it! And do not be neglected...”. In the present paper we propose to return to the enigma of the debt with Asclepio in order to rescue certain political nuance present in it. For this, after briefly reviewing the main interpretations that have occurred in the last century, we will analize the Socratic conception of birth and life as eminently political phenomena in order to rethink the status of his death.
