Abstract

Abstract:Contrary to the traditional interpretation of Plato's attitude towards painting as derogatory, it has recently been rightly argued that its treatment in the Platonic corpus is too complicated to be dismissed as simply negative. In this paper I focus on Plato's references to “shadow painting” in the Phaedo and the Republic and investigate the way in which this fifth-century pictorial technique becomes a distinctive metaphor that addresses complex ontological and epistemological problems, namely the notion of antithesis and the so-called “compresense” of opposites (enantia) in the world of Doxa, as well as the relationship between Forms and physical particulars.

柏拉图的“影子绘画”隐喻:《斐多篇》与《理想国》中的对立与“参与”

摘要:与柏拉图对绘画的态度是贬损的传统解释相反，最近有一种正确的观点认为，柏拉图语料库中对绘画的处理过于复杂，不能简单地视为否定。在本文中，我将重点关注柏拉图在《斐多篇》和《理想国》中提到的“影子绘画”，并研究这种五世纪的绘画技术如何成为一种独特的隐喻，解决复杂的本体论和认识论问题，即对立的概念和Doxa世界中所谓的对立的“压缩”(enantia)，以及形式和物理细节之间的关系。
