Abstract

Abstract:

Although the Iliad is typically approached as a version of, say, Catch-22, the epic is not about armed conflict and its horrors. The war at Troy serves the poet as a metaphor for life. Advanced in the hexameters is an account of the genesis, and a defense, of the humanist view that men and women occupy an autonomous place midway between clods and gods. Plato's harsh criticism of Homer's work comes into focus once Achilles's transformation is interpreted along these philosophical lines. Homer is rejecting what Plato, who flattens human reality and calls it justice, endorses.

《中间人:荷马的哲学狂想曲》

摘要:虽然《伊利亚特》通常被视为《第二十二条军规》的版本，但这部史诗并不是关于武装冲突及其恐怖的。特洛伊战争是诗人对生活的隐喻。在六步诗中更进一步的是对起源的描述，以及对人文主义观点的辩护，即男人和女人在土块和神之间占据着一个自主的位置。一旦阿喀琉斯的转变沿着这些哲学路线被解释，柏拉图对荷马作品的严厉批评就会成为焦点。荷马反对柏拉图所赞同的，将人类现实平面化并称之为正义的观点。

期刊介绍： For more than a quarter century, Philosophy and Literature has explored the dialogue between literary and philosophical studies. The journal offers a constant source of fresh, stimulating ideas in the aesthetics of literature, theory of criticism, philosophical interpretation of literature, and literary treatment of philosophy. Philosophy and Literature challenges the cant and pretensions of academic priesthoods by publishing an assortment of lively, wide-ranging essays, notes, and reviews that are written in clear, jargon-free prose. In his regular column, editor Denis Dutton targets the fashions and inanities of contemporary intellectual life.
