(1 other version)The Myth of Cronus in Plato’s Statesman: Cosmic Rotation and Earthly Correspondence.Corinne Gartner - 2020 - Apeiron 53 (4):437-462.details The cosmological myth in Plato’sStatesmanhas generated several longstanding scholarly disputes, among them a controversy concerning the number and nature of the cosmic rotation cycles that it depicts. According to the standard interpretation, there are two cycles of rotation: west-to-east rotation occurs during the age of Cronus, and east-to-west rotation occurs during the age of Zeus, which is also our present era. Recent readings have challenged this two-cycle interpretation, arguing that the period of rotation opposed to our own is governed neither (...) Download Export citation Bookmark

El mythos, el logos y la historia. La reconstrucción filosófica del pasado en el mythos del Político de Platón.Giuseppe Greco - 2022 - Anales Del Seminario de Historia de la Filosofía 39 (2):289-303.details This article considers the function and value of the mythos in Plato's Statesman. As first, I recall the context of the story and its function within the framework of diairetic inquiry about the definition of the real politician. Secondly, I point out that the formulation of the myth is based on a series of traditional stories to which a historical-reconstructive method is applied. I then highlight the ways of reasoning used by the characters in order to reconstruct a rational and (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
