Cette décision philosophique, qui ne va pas de soi, visant à placer la cause de toutes choses dans un principe transcendant et immatériel, est concomitante d'un autre choix philosophique consistant à « séparer » la cause de son effet, le haut du bas, l'intelligible du sensible, l'invisible du visible, l'incorporel du corporel. De telles « séparations » poseront à Platon et à Plotin le problème de l'unité du monde et des « relations » que ces deux niveaux différents peuvent ou doivent malgré tout entretenir afin d'éviter toute forme de dérive dualiste et de vision pessimiste du monde. Cet ouvrage propose [...]

CFA: IPS’ Symposium XIII, on Plato’s Sophist

The International Plato Society’s Symposium XIII at the University of Georgia (USA) July 18-22, 2022 is devoted exclusively to the Sophist. We will consider abstracts on any aspect of the dialogue and its reception. They should be received by November 29, 2021. At this point, we expect to have an in-person Symposium. However, because some or even many people may not be able to travel, we also plan to have simultaneous Zoom sessions to make remote participation possible. Plato’s Sophist was, arguably, the most important Platonic dialogue for mid-20th century philosophy. Anglo-American analytic philosophers looked to it to come to understand Plato’s philosophy of language.
