Abstract

Abstract:Focusing on Socrates and Oedipus, this article explores the role of imagery of legs and leg-associated activities in philosophical and dramatic representations of philosophers. Socrates's philosophizing begins with wandering, culminates in immobile standing, and tragically ends with his sitting with his legs planted in the ground. Oedipus's philosophizing involves tragic ignorance of his own legs: he has succeeded in solving the philosophical riddle about the legs of Man in general, yet fails to see his own feet and thereby to solve the riddle of his own identity.

哲学的脚下：二脚思想家的辩证法

摘要:本文以苏格拉底和俄狄浦斯为研究对象，探讨了腿的意象和与腿相关的活动在哲学家的哲学和戏剧表现中的作用。苏格拉底的哲学思考始于漫游，以静止不动的站立而告终，以双腿埋在地上的坐着而悲剧收场。俄狄浦斯的哲学思考包含了对自己腿的悲剧性无知:他成功地解开了关于人类腿的哲学谜题，却没有看到自己的脚，因而也没有解开自己身份的谜题。

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.
