English summary: The present study responds to the question of what in the individual and collective soul must be educated and by what means. Plato established a moral and political psychology, carefully placing the thymos between reason and desire. In his dialogues, Plato made the thymos and its functional equivalents mediations where the I defines itself in its relations with its desires and reason, with its body, and with other citizens. French description: Les emotions constituent un defi dans l’education platonicienne. Elles sont des reactions aux valeurs du bien, du beau, du juste, et elles les vehiculent dans l’action. Que les affects et les emotions n’entravent pas la moralite de l’agent est une premiere etape dans l’education; mais qu’ils la soutiennent en est une seconde, et telle est la tache du philosophe, du legislateur et du pedagogue. La presente etude repond a la question de savoir ce qui dans l’ame individuelle et collective doit etre eduque et par quels moyens. Platon etablit une psychologie morale et politique en prenant soin de cerner un intermediaire, le thymos, entre les differents poles de la vie psychique que sont la raison et le desir. Dans les dialogues, Platon fait du thymos et de ses equivalents fonctionnels autant de mediations ou le moi se construit et se definit dans ses rapports avec sa raison et ses desirs, avec son corps, avec les autres citoyens.
