Dialogando, questions at the origin of
thought. When was philosophy born?
In light of our
texts, the birth is relatively recent,

Um, then the term philosophy is found
in a writing of the
Hypocratic corpus, ancient
medicine and finally
we have the adjective filosofos. In reality
the adjective filosofos seems to date back to
Heraclitus. A fragment attests to this
use, but it is a doubtful fragment. So
certainly in the second half of the fifth
century we witness the
introduction, first slowly and then with
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, prodigious,
of philosophers and the like.
In Thucydides' Histories, in the famous
epitaph of Pericles, for the fallen in the
first year of the
Peloponnesian War, Thucydides has Pericles say
in his eulogy of Athens: "We Athenians,
Athenians,
filocalumen, meteele steekai
filosofumen, aneumala, that is, we love
filalumen, we are passionate about
beauty, but without
ostentation, and we are passionate about knowledge
filosofumen, but without weakness. Now,
this would be interesting if anything.
Why do you feel the need to say
that the Athenians do philosophy, that is,
they have a passion for knowledge, but without
malachia, without weakness, as if this
this
passion were somehow linked to
a form of
weakness. The term is established with
Socrates and
Plato. For a certain period there is a
fine struggle between philosopher and
sophist. Sophist means the letter
that makes one wise, that is, master of knowledge. It
knowledge. It
is a fight to the death.
If Plato had not written his
wonderful dialogues and had not
persuaded us that philosopher It is an
honorable term and sophist is a
dishonorable term, perhaps today we would not be
in a philosophy department, but in sophistry.
