AESTHETICS , *ETHICS , *PHILOSOPHY & ethics - Abstract
The Socratic Memorabilia (1759) reconstruct the figure of Socrates with great interest for a historiography inaugurated by Plato and encouraged by Xenophon. The problematic nature of a life without written work and the philosophical instrumentalization of his exemplary death are exploited by Hamann to appropriate the Socratic êthos (cultivated from the daímon rather than from the logos), which allows defining an aesthetic Socrates who articulates his vital attitude under two premises. On the one hand, beliefs and other material concretions take part in the epistemological understanding of the world and, on the other, it is through radical and critical skepticism towards institutions that it is best to find in Socrates the protoenlightened one that the most orthodox Enlightenment seeks. If Hamann's Socrates is aesthetic, it is because of his understanding of the aesthetic as a human perceptual structure, prior to the constitution of subjectivity that would dominate senses and passions, according to traditional Aesthetics. Given that the aesthetic dimension appears as the gift of God that brings together the divine and the human in the sentient body, Hamann thus approaches a Christian Socrates, but also a 'teacher of existence' like the character left by Antisthenes and who must complement the Platonic one.

INTERTEXTUAL analysis , *INTERPRETATION (Philosophy) , *VEINS , *CORPORA , *HYPOTHESIS - Abstract
The development of the studies on the Socratic philosophies have enabled a return to the analysis of intertextual passages within the platonic corpus. This work explores the dream passage in Theaetetus, 201c ff. and its links with Antisthenic philosophy. Firstly, it analyses its features in the context of the Socratic dialogue. Then, it presents some key points on the dream passage, and finaly, it sets out an interpretation of the Antisthenic philosophy that reveals relevant contacts with the Platonic approach. In this vein, we offer an hypothesis about the general sense of the dialogue and its way of comprehend the phenomenon of knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CUNNING folk , *ODYSSEUS, King of Ithaca (Mythological character) , *INTELLECT - Abstract
Considering the importance of cunning in the characterization of σοφός in the Ancient Greek tradition, from the literature of the archaic period to the Socratic circle, it is striking that in Plato there is no such thing as a cunning σοφός. Apart from the Lesser Hippias, which offers an ambiguous assessment of Odysseus πολυτροπία, the σοφός is almost never defined by its intelligence --this is not a distinctive feature of the σοφός or φιλόσοφος-- but rather by the knowledge of certain things. The lack of treatment has led to most interpreters to neglect the subject. In order to remedy this situation, in this article I offer an interpretation that diagnoses the absence of an attribute such as cunning in the conceptualization of σοφός in Plato, but not as the result of simple condemnation or censorship as argued, for example, by Detienne and Vernant 1978 and suggested by Montiglio 2011. In this paper I propose that Plato would manifest a lack of interest regarding these attributes. From the analysis of the Platonic corpus I seek to demonstrate that, although attributes of intelligence are considered advantageous and desirable qualities, they have only instrumental value with respect to the attainment of truth and good.

6. ISOCRATES' CRITICISM OF SOCRATICS IN AGAINST THE SOPHISTS AND ENCOMIUM OF HELEN.

SOPHISTS (Greek philosophy) , *PHILOSOPHY , *INTELLECTUALS - Abstract
Several scholars have suggested that Isocrates' speeches Against the Sophists and Encomium of Helen attack some of Socrates' followers, mainly Plato, Antisthenes and Euclid. Nonetheless, most of these authors do not see the overall nature of Isocrates' criticism of the Socratics, which not only includes the figures mentioned above, but it is aimed at the group as a whole. This article seeks to defend that hypothesis. In order to do so, I will reconstruct, firstly, Isocrates' attack on the first group criticized in Against the Sophists and on the intellectuals from the prologue of Encomium of Helen. I will defend that both groups must be identified and that Isocrates attributes a set of shared doctrines and practices to all of them, among which he highlights an eristic methodology of argumentation and an intellectualist ethical position. Secondly, I will argue that these elements were practiced and defended by many of first-generation Socratics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

RESUMEN Una interpretación extendida del Eutidemo sostiene que la práctica erística de la cual Platón busca distanciarse en el diálogo constituye una referencia velada a la dialéctica desarrollada por el socrático Euclides y sus seguidores megáricos. No obstante, los expertos reconocen que la segunda demostración erística (283b-288c) pone en boca de Eutidemo y Dionisodoro dos posiciones que fueron defendidas por Antístenes, según las cuales no es posible decir falsedades ni contradecir. Este trabajo busca analizar las refutaciones de dicha sección y confrontarlas con los testimonios sobre Antístenes a fin de evaluar hasta qué punto nos encontramos en presencia de los mismos argumentos. Defenderé que si bien las refutaciones del Eutidemo poseen una inspiración antisténica, principalmente respecto de las tesis que buscan sostener, las mismas se basan en una serie de supuestos ambiguos que responden más a los lineamientos de la práctica erística que a los fundamentos del pensamiento antisténico. Argumentaré, asimismo, que esta diferencia podría explicarse a partir del hecho de que el Eutidemo puede ser leído como una respuesta al Encomio de Helena de Isócrates, en donde este ataca a los socráticos por dedicarse a la erística y al desarrollo de doctrinas paradójicas, entre las cuales incluye las tesis de Antístenes. ABSTRACT A widespread interpretation of the Euthydemus claims that the Eristic practice from which Plato seeks to distance himself in the dialogue constitutes a veiled reference to the dialectics developed by the Socratic Euclid and his Megarian followers. However, experts acknowledge that the second Eristic demonstration (283b-288c) puts two positions in the mouth of Euthydemus and Dionysodorus which were defended by Antisthenes, according to which it is not possible to say falsehoods nor to contradict. This work seeks to analyze the refutations of this section and compare them with the testimonies about Antisthenes in order to evaluate to what extent they are the same arguments. I will defend that although the refutations of the Euthydemus have an Antisthenic inspiration, mainly with respect to the theses they seek to support, these are based on a series of ambiguous assumptions that correspond more to the principles of Eristics than to the grounds of Antisthenic thought. I will also argue that the difference could be explained by the fact that the Euthydemus can be understood as a response to Isocrates ’ Encomium of Helen, where he attacks the whole Socratic circle for devoting to Eristics and to the development of paradoxical doctrines, including the theses of the Antisthesis.

RESUMEN ¿Por qué cuando Platón quiere justificar su definición del sofista como un «fabricante de imágenes» (Sofista, 236c), se apoya sobre dos versos auténticos de Parménides (fr. 7.1-2) que aluden, sin duda alguna, al camino recorrido por los «mortales que nada saben» (fr. 6.4)? ¿Quiere acaso sugerir que esos «mortales», que son en realidad «fabricantes de opiniones» (doxaí), son un antecedente de los sofistas, que son «fabricantes de imágenes»? ABSTRACT Why, when Plato wants to justify his definition of the sophist as an "image maker"(Sopfest, 236c), he quotes two authentic verses of Parmenides (fr. 7.1-2) that undoubtedly allude to the path taken by the "mortals who know nothing" (fr. 6.4)? Does he want to suggest that these "mortals", who are actually "opinions (doxaí) makers" are ancestors of the sophists, who are "image makers"?

In order to confirm that the sophist is a manufacturer of illusions, Plato argues (Sph.262d8) that it is necessary to refute Parmenides’s thesis which states that there is only – as Plato interprets it – the absolute being. Most likely an echo of this thesis is found in Antisthenes, whom Plato seems to allude to in the Sophist, for whom “what is, is true”. This conception of truth is known as “ante-predicative” or ontological, and, according to Heidegger, would be original. It is not the case. From Homer to Parmenides, truth (or falsehood) was always attributed to a speech or thought, never to a “being”. The “ante-predicative” conception of truth was a creation of philosophy, which probably began with Parmenides and continued with Antisthenes. When Plato refutes it, in the second part of the Sophist, only returns to the past, because he makes speech the “place” of truth., Platón sostiene que, para confirmar que el sofista es un fabricante de ilusiones (Sph.262d8), hay que refutar la tesis de Parménides que afirma que sólo existe – según Platón lo interpreta – el ser absoluto. Muy probablemente un eco de esta tesis se encuentre en Antístenes, a quien Platón parece aludir en el Sofista, para quien “lo que es, es verdadero”. Esta concepción de la verdad se conoce como “ante-predicativa” u ontológica, y, según Heidegger, sería originaria. No es así. Desde Homero y hasta Parménides, la verdad (o falsedad) fue siempre atribuida a un discurso o a un pensamiento, jamás a un ente. La concepción “ante-predicativa” de la verdad fue una creación de la filosofía, que probablemente comenzó con Parménides y continuó con Antístenes. Cuando Platón la refuta, en la segunda parte del Sofista, no hace sino regresar al pasado, pues hace del discurso el “lugar” de la verdad.

FORM (Philosophy) , *IDEA (Philosophy) , *ANCIENT philosophy , *ONTOLOGY - Abstract
Antisthenes, one of the so many listeners of Socrates, was a direct witness of the philosophical activity of Plato, that was about twenty-five years younger than he. Since each reality is, for Antisthenes, an entity already qualified, to which it denominates Τὸ Ποιόν ("the qualified one"), with particular properties, individualized by a name, it does not agree with Plato in the necessity to postulate supreme kinds (γένη, ∈ἰ̑δη). These, for Antisthenes, are only naked fictions, qualities in herself. If the ontological status of Forms is left of side (nonexistent realities, for Antisthenes; supreme realities, for Plato), the interpretation of Antisthenes agrees with the examples presented by Plato in its dialogues: the Equality, the Greatness, the Parity, the Whiteness, etc. But in the case of substantial realities (like the man, the mud, the bed, the fire), the Plato of the dialogues does not have a clear and precise answer. Antisthenes seems to reproach to him that, so that its theory has universal value, it would be necessary to postulate the Equinity as Form of the horse, or the Humanity as Form of the man. And Plato seems to have accepted the challenge because in anecdotes related by Diogenes Laertius it would have spoken of the Cup-ness or the Spunness. Nothing of that is found in the dialogues, but perhaps the challenge of Antisthenes moved Plato to modify in the Sophist the ontological status of Forms and to consider them like givers communicability.

antisthenes ,antístenes ,platón ,ideas ,formas ,forms - Abstract
Antístenes, uno de los tantos oyentes de Sócrates, fue un testigo directo de la actividad filosófica de Platón, que era unos veinticinco años menor que él. Dado que cada realidad es, para Antístenes, una entidad ya calificada, a la que denomina precisamente lo calificado (το ποιον), con propiedades particulares, individualizada por un nombre, no concuerda con Platón en la necesidad de postular géneros supremos (γενη, ειδη). Éstos, para Antístenes, son solo ficciones desnudas, cualidades en sí, hispotasiadas a partir de lo ya calificado. Si se deja de lado el status ontológico de las Formas (inexistentes, para Antístenes; realidades supremas, para Platón), la interpretación de Antístenes coincide con los ejemplos presentados por Platón en la mayor parte de sus diálogos: la Igualdad, la Grandeza, la Paridad, la Piedad, la Blancura, etc. Pero en el caso de realidades sustanciales (como el hombre, el barro, la cama, el fuego), el Platón de los diálogos no tiene una respuesta clara y distinta. Antístenes parece reprocharle que, para que su teoría tenga valor universal, habría que postular la Equinidad como Forma del caballo, o la Humanidad como Forma del hombre. Y Platón parece haber aceptado el desafío porque en anécdotas relatadas por Diógenes Laercio habría hablado de la Tazidad o de la Cucharidad. Nada de eso queda en los diálogos, pero quizá el desafío de Antístenes llevó a Platón a modificar el status ontológico de las Formas en el Sofista y a considerarlas como dadoras comunicabilidad.
