4The BastardsProceedings of the XXIII World Congress of Philosophy 2 (2): 273-277. 2018.The paper deals with the so-called “Theognidean dilemma” in Plato’s Meno. The author tries to answer the question, if aretê is a matter of teaching or a natural human endowment from the view point of the Theognidea collection. First, he tries to identify both the ‘eugenic’ and the ‘didactic’ tendencies of the Theognidea and compare them. Then, he turns to the role of Kyrnos’ character in the collection. The author concludes that neither Kyrnos nor Theognis are historical personalities per se; pr…Read more

12Theognis on Breeding and Learning: Why Socrates Should Have Quoted His Verses in Plato’s MenoPolis 36 (3): 488-510. 2019.This article reconsiders the significance of Theognis’ verses quoted in Plato’s Meno by examining the proposed dilemma in the Theognidea. Firstly, the structure of the dialogue, location of verses, and the dilemma itself are briefly discussed. The article then analyses Theognis’ ‘eugenic’ and ‘didactic’ positions, and suggests that there is no contradiction in the verses from the Theognidea quoted in the Meno, and that Plato was aware of this. The article finally concludes that the pictures of S…Read more

3Theognis – zrenie streduOstium 1 (2). 2005.This paper continues in the propagation of the ethical views of Theognis. In the first chapter is discussed the meaning of the word aidōs, which can be grasped as “Respect–for–Others”, and also as a human ability for proper understanding and for acting towards a human community, and towards Gods. The next chapter shows some new moments yielded by Theognis and by archaic lyricists in the understanding of relationships between men and Gods. The last chapter try to shows the interpretation of “mean…Read more

8Umiernená zúrivosť (nová rola thúridos alké u Tyrtaia)Studia Philosophica 62 (2): 21-31. 2015.Prvými svedkami a neraz aj intelektuálnymi generátormi procesov, ktoré viedli k ustanoveniu sociálno-politických štruktúr klasických gréckych poleis, sú archaickí lyrici. Medzi najstarších patrí spartský Tyrtaios (1. pol. 7. st. p. n. l.), ktorý vo svojej elégii (zl. 12) ustanovuje za vrcholnú zdatnosť thúridos alké (zúrivú chrabrosť, rázny odpor). Toto slovné spojenie nachádzame už u Homéra, ktorý ním pomenúva jednu z bojovníckych aretai. Naším cieľom bude komplexne analyzovať 12. zlomok, pre…Read more

2Priatel'stvo ako cnosť súkromná i verejnáOstium 4 (1). 2008.The aim of this article is to show a social role of friendship (filia) in Classical Greece and to discover why, as Aristotle thinks, is filia the greatest good for the polis. The author bases his analysis on a comparison between Plato’s dialogue Lysis and Aristotle’s Politics (namely the book 1 and book 3). He distinguishes four types of filia, and shows the social role played by each one of them: the love of parents to children, the friendship between teenage boys of the same age, the love of e…Read more

3The Problem of Anamnesis and Plato’s MenoFilozofia 63 28-38. 2008.The main goal of the paper is to rethink several aspects of the so-called Plato’s Theory of Recollection and to contribute to the discussion of the differences between the historical Socrates and Socrates in Plato. The author’s argumentation draws upon his own interpretation of Plato’s Meno. As far as the recollection is concerned his conclusion is that we should distinguish between: a) the recollection as a myth, playing an „anti-misologic“ and „protreptic“ roles in the dialogue, which should h…Read more
