- Title
WAS PLATO A LOVER OF ΛΌΓΟΣ?
- Authors
OSB, JAROSŁAW KUREK
- Abstract
This paper focuses on the concept of logos in the writings of Plato. After preliminary methodological considerations, it proceeds to attempt a provisional definition of the term. It then examines the philosopher's capacity to be philologos. This ability, the paper shows, is closely connected with the philosophical dimension of music. This eventually leads to a novel and complex definition of logos. Contextualised in the historical event of Socrates' trial as recounted in the Apology, it argues for the capital importance of the dialectical search for logos in Plato's philosophical work.
