This article proposes a novel interpretation of a difficult passage in the famous Digression in the Theaetetus (175e). The disputed expression ἀναβάλλεσθαι ἐπιδέξια is traditionally understood either as “to wear one’s coat as a gentleman” (McDowell) or as “to strike up an elegant tune like a free man” (Rowe). However, these readings are problematic both ...

Plato's cave is one of the most striking and discussed metaphors not only in Plato's philosophy but in philosophy as a whole. However, the image of the cave as a place associated with the acquisition of new knowledge and the affirmation of one's own opinion appears in Sophocles' Philoctetes, that is, somewhat earlier than in ...

In Aristotle's definition of tragedy in Poetics, where catharsis suddenly appears without any preparation, every word, preposition, and semantics of the case are commented on with such attention and detail as, perhaps, only the expressions, cases, and letters of the Holy Scriptures. In 1975, A. F. Losev estimated the number of interpretations of catharsis by ...

The article examines the counterarguments of Cardinal Bessarion (1403-1472) in response to accusations of the immorality of Platonism made by the scholar George of Trebizond. George's sharply polemical treatise “Comparatio philosophorum Aristotelis et Platonis”, written in 1458, was at that time the most expressive and defiant attack on the Renaissance Neoplatonists. Honoring Plato as a ...

Despite the criticism, the standard chronology of Plato’s works continues to hold sway not only over “developmentalists”, but also over various types of “unitarians”. The authority of the standard chronology rests on the confidence that the division of the dialogues into three groups has been “proven” with quantitative methods. In addition to the general theoretical ...

The article shows that quantitative methods of text analysis have limited applicability for establishing or refuting the authenticity of texts included in the Platonic corpus. As K. Ritter saw at the end of the 19th century, stylistic proximity to authentic texts does not exclude forgery, and in general the methods of phylogical criticism allow only ...

The most important problem of modern political philosophy is the loss of politics’ independence from other spheres of human activity. Since the beginning of the last century, philosophers have sought to justify the uniqueness of political being and to update the modern political-philosophical vocabulary by redefining the categories of antiquity (e.g. τὸ ᾰ̓γᾰθόν, φῐλία, παρρησία, ...

not as rhetorical means to give grace or ...
