As this new reading of Plato’s Gorgias shows, four distinct positions with regard to freedom of speech are introduced in this classical text on the relations between philosophy and rhetoric: two realistic and two logical. The realism of rhetoric poses the key political problem of incommensurability between freedom and justice. The realism of philosophy is able to solve this problem, but only through a mediatory differentiation of two purely logical stands, which might have found direct counterparts in the two dominant forms of political philosophy in the 20th century. One of them is political liberalism, which corresponds to the ‘geometric’ way of argumentation in ‘Gorgias’ and inevitably passes into a theory of normative justice. Another is the mainstream ‘continental’ philosophy, which corresponds to the ‘erotic’ way of argumentation in Gorgias and explores the possibilities of the positive freedom.

The paper provides a historical background for the “reversal” concept of truth. In Attic drama, Plato found a way to approach the problem of conflict between the good and justice. By overcoming deficiencies of tragic representations, Plato came to understand human reality as a complex plot, prone to a complete change. His philosophical solution consisted ...

В статье анализируется неокантианская интерпретация платоновских сочинений (прежде всего книга П. Наторпа «Учение Платона об идеях»). Неокантианцы ставили Платону в заслугу открытие «логического», но прочтение его текстов демонстрирует пренебрежение к политическому содержанию диалогов. Несмотря на глубокий интерес к «политическому» своей эпохи, Хайдеггер мог некритически отнестись к неокантианскому образу Платона, поскольку он подходил для реализации ницшевского ...

»Unsere heutige Sensibilität« lässt ›uns‹ angeblich den Säuglingsmord ebenso verabscheuen wie die Folter, den Genozid und jegliche Diskriminierung. Haben wir es tatsächlich mit einem »tief greifenden Wandel der Sensibilität« zu tun, den man mit Richard Rorty besonders dem sogenannten Westen zugutehalten dürfte? Oder ist beides zu bezweifeln? Der Band "Sensibilität der Gegenwart" lotet ausgehend von ...

Rhetoric is one of the key themes of Plato’s Phaedrus. In the second part of the dialogue Socrates refers to rhetoric as psychagogy (soul-leading). The notion of psychagogia initially designated the process of conjuring souls from the Underworld to the world of the living. Outside the magical context psychagogy could refer to a set of ...

First, it is positive, which puts it into opposition to the both current versions of its negative counterpart, the liberal (Isaiah Berlin), and the republican (Quentin Skinner, Philip Pettit) concepts of freedom. In particular, a comparison between Arendt’s and Pettit’s approaches allows establishing some ...
