In the Philebus, Plato elaborates an image of our soul as a book where a scribe and a painter are constantly at work. This book examines the implicit premises of this image and aims at overcoming the general polarity of ancient phantasia and modern imagination.
- By (author) Karel Thein
Review - French Dans le Philebe, Platon elabore une celebre image de notre ame comme livre ou un ecrivain et un peintre se mettent au travail des que l'activite de l'ame depasse le cadre de la simple perception. Cet ouvrage propose de relire cette image afin d'en decouvrir les premisses et les presupposes implicites, et de lui restituer sa place dans le Philebe ou elle maintient un rapport trop souvent neglige avec la possible faussete du plaisir et avec les emotions y compris celle, fondamentale, de l'espoir. En meme temps, il ne s'agit pas d'une approche exegetique, etroite, mais d'un effort qui, s'appuyant sur le texte de Platon, met en cause une coupure trop generale entre la phantasia des Anciens et l'imagination des Modernes.
