In an essay entitled ‘Hegel and the Greeks’, Heidegger articulates the following claim: ‘It is Hegel’, he says, ‘who, for the first time, thinks the philosophy of the Greeks as a whole and thinks this whole philosophically’ (HG, 324). Hegel is able to do this, Heidegger argues, because he thought history in such a way that it is determined as ...

Orphic Sophistry in the Protagoras
Epoché: A Journal for the History of Philosophy, 2023This paper investigates a reference to the voice of the legendary musician Orpheus in Plato’s Protagoras. I propose that the Orpheus image does serious philosophical work in the text. Understanding the mythic and religious elements of the Orpheus tradition can help us conceptualize the harms of sophistry from a Platonic viewpoint.

At the same time there has been a more

In contrast with Socrates many of the sophists of his day were largely interested in getting on. To this end they were prepared to attempt influencing people’s beliefs and conduct regardless of considerations of truth and morality. This tended to undermine their pupil’s regard for argument, for truth and moral considerations.

Philosophy, Sophistry, Antiphilosophy
2015Alain Badiou's work in philosophy, though daunting, has gained a receptive and steadily growing Anglophone readership. What is not well known is the extent to which Badiou's positions, vis-à-vis ontology, ethics, politics and the very meaning of philosophy, were hammered out in dispute with the late Jean-François Lyotard.

Socrates’s life is noteworthy not least for its unnatural end: Socrates was executed by democratic Athens on a twofold charge of not believing in the city’s gods and of corrupting the young. Inasmuch as Socrates’s way of life and the death to which it led are intended by Plato to be instructive and even exemplary, he seems intent on indicating a ...
