Of Platonism and Phenomenology

Después de comentar la situación general de los estudios platónicos y de algunas de las rupturas producidas en las batallas por la interpretación de Platón, se presentan algunos de los últimos desarrollos de la investigación que lleva a cabo el grupo de investigación “Eidos: platonisme i modernitat”. A propósito de la fenomenología platónica de Jan Patocka, se muestra la íntima conexión entre platonismo, fenomenología y teatro en la obra del filósofo checo, así como en su discípulo Vaclav Havel. Se presenta ahora tan solo un desarrollo preliminar que se concentrará posteriormente en una reflexión sobre la dramaticidad del diálogo platónico.After discussing the general situation of the Platonic studies and after some of the ruptures ocurred in the battles for Plato’s interpretation, the paper shows some of the latest developments of the research carried out by the research group “Eidos: platonisme i modernitat”.

This paper specifically treats some aspects of Bruce Ackerman’s work in normative philosophy (which defines the characteristics of neutral dialogue and neutrality, then critiques them), that can improve the Habermas’ Principle of Discourse as applied to the field of la

Sobre el Logos de Lísias al Fedre

Lysias¿ speech in Plato¿s Phaedrus constitutes a key text in the demonstration of how the contextualization of the speech in its communicative intention is key for the comprehension of its function. In this function the speech is rendered clear without the need of a deeper meaning. Another issue is the role of the speech when located in a different communicative context and with a different intention. Making this distinction is a useful and necessary exercise.
