Abstract:Diogenes Laërtius reports Socrates saying that beauty is a "short-lived tyranny." Ironically, the beauty of Plato's Symposium immortalized the tyranny within. I argue that theoretical reflection, especially concerning Plato's dialogues, must be understood in tandem with our reflection on the theater of life—its beauty and its terror. The dramatic structure of the Symposium comes into focus under the lens of Aristophanes's humor, which exposes tyranny in the Symposium and Athens in the fourth century BCE.

暴政的悲剧与喜剧:柏拉图的座谈会和阿里斯托芬的青蛙

摘要:Diogenes Laërtius 报道苏格拉底说美是一种“短暂的暴政”。具有讽刺意味的是,柏拉图的《座谈会》的美丽使内在的暴政永垂不朽。我认为,理论反思,尤其是关于柏拉图对话的理论反思,必须与我们对生活剧场的反思——它的美丽和恐怖——一并理解。座谈会的戏剧性结构在阿里斯托芬幽默的镜头下成为焦点,它揭露了座谈会和公元前四世纪雅典的暴政。
