Autour d’une charnière (Parménide B8.50-61 DK = D8.55-66LM): Une discussion posthume avec Jean Bollack
No full textAround Parmenides’ hinge (28B8.50-61 DK = 19D8.55-66 LM) must we read Parmenides without going through Plato, as Jean Bollack asserts in the very first sentence of his book Parménide, de l’étant au monde (2006)? While relying on a radically new interpretation of B8.53-54a put forward by Bollack as early as 1966, I argue, on the contrary, that it is only on the condition of having Plato in mind that one can read the poem as a whole. The Republic or the Symposium, the Sophist and the Timaeus, taken in conjunction (and not as witnesses of a development of Plato’s thought), provide a key to grasp the meaning of the hinge between the two parts of the goddess’ exposition, which is the real core of the poem. Radicalizing a line of interpretation opened by Jonathan Barnes (1979) and Patricia Curd (1997), I argue that there is a sense in which non-being is eliminated from the second part of the goddess’ exposition, and multiplicity given a legitimate ontological status. If so, the parricide which the Sophist pretends to perpetrate concerns Parmenides’ ancient interpreters rather than Parmenides himself. This is the only sense in which we could indeed say that we have to read Parmenides without going through Plato.Around Parmenides’ hinge (28B8.50-61 DK = 19D8.55-66 LM) must we read Parmenides without going through Plato, as Jean Bollack asserts in the very first sentence of his book Parménide, de l’étant au monde (2006)?

The Divine Principle of Aristotelian Politics: Leisure and Self-Sufficiency as the Final Cause of Political Activity
No full textThis essay considers the relation between Aristotle’s theology and political philosophy. I argue through a reading of Aristotle’s Politics that the divine, under its description as the one completely free, inwardly determined and leisurely activity, lies behind the natural human impulse to come together into communities, and that the goodness of these political communities can be to some extent measured by how successfully they approximate this divinity
