Socratic Charis: Philosophy without the Agon,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This book explores the possibility that Platos philosophia is influenced by nonagonal practices and values that historically and philosophically antedate the agonal practices of the Athenian ekklesia. The author surveys literature concerning the predominance of agonal in ancient Greek culture, the values associated with oral poetic performance as a religious practice, and the ubiquitous character of the gift practice known as xenia in the ancient world. The author compares the structure of the agon to the structure of other ancient practices, and reasons that while agonistic practices are oppositional and binary, poetic and social practices are narrative and plural and exemplify, alternative to the agonal, the value of charisgrace. Reading Socratic speech and Socratic inquiry in terms of charis illuminates the narrative structure of Platos portrayal of Socrates and precludes onedimensional analyses of Platos writings as philosophically agonistic and demonstrative. Rather the value of Socratic charis illustrates the value of genuine dialogue, and the author suggests how revaluing Socratic dialogue in light of charis can be relevant to current thinking about philosophy, politics, and the agon.
