A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dialogue, dialectic; 8aX cye rA uo6 ,aA tictiic. Tlicse words furnish a clew to theS ocratic wisdom. It was a methodical exercise of the reasoning faculty that enabled Socrates, first of all men, to realize completely theD elphian maxim, yvS tO i cravrov. By no other way than through self-scrutiny, critically applied in the form of question and answer, could he have been led to affirm, what no man had learned to say before, a firf oZS dovS eoioioi ciS cwi, and to announce the conviction formulated in the words, 6dycfrroarog 8a sov jS ioyrof avO piovi. The identity of knowledge and virtue, as maintained byS ocrates; the union of intellectual and moral excellence in the person of the sage, celebrated by both of his emiment companions, such a consummation can hardly be comprehended without taking some account of the process whereby we know it to have been achieved. In the time of Xenophon and Plato, whose chief writings formed a memorial and as it were a continuation of the life work of their illustrious master, a philosophical terminology had not yet been elaborated in the Greek language. At that period the word philosophy itself was vague and unsettled in its application, and a groundwork for the now familiar and important distinction between art and science had only just begun to be wrought out. A few words, however, were gradually assuming, side by side with their popular usage, a special meaning adapted to more exact or conscious modes of thought than properly pertain to poetry or eloquence; and other new words were coming to be framed to meet the needs of newly recognized activities of the mind.
