Apparences Et Dialectique: Un Commentaire Du Sophiste de Platon [French]

By Nicolas Zaks

Dans le Sophiste de Platon, un myst?rieux ?tranger venu d'?l?e entreprend de d?finir m?thodiquement le rival le plus farouche du philosophe, le sophiste. Sa d?finition est cependant interrompue par une tentative de r?futer l'ontologie de Parm?nide. La signification propre de cette r?futation et sa relation exacte avec la chasse au sophiste demeurent tr?s controvers?es dans la litt?rature secondaire. Ce livre propose un commentaire suivi du dialogue montrant comment la distinction, souvent n?glig?e, entre dialectique et apparences permet de trancher dans les controverses suscit?es par le Sophiste, tout en restaurant l'unit? et l'originalit? profondes de la pens?e de Platon.

In Plato's Sophist, a mysterious Eleatic Stranger, the main character of the dialogue, undertakes a systematic definition of the philosopher's fiercest rival, the sophist. His hunt for a definition of the sophist, however, is interrupted by an attempt to refute the ontology of Parmenides. The philosophical significance of this refutation and its exact relationship to the sought-after definition remains a matter of great scholarly dispute. This book, by means of a running commentary on the dialogue, argues that the oft-neglected distinction between dialectic and appearances is not only the key to solving this and other exegetical conundrums, but also reveals the unity and originality of Plato's argument in the Sophist.
