| heal.abstract | Spyros D. Kyriazopoulos (1932-1977) is included among the prominent representatives of the Neohellenic Philosophy of the twentieth century. He was a versatile and extremely profound philosophical mind. The present Master Thesis focuses on Kyriazopoulos’s works which refer to Ancient Greek Philosophy up to Aristotle. The purpose of this thesis is to reconstruct the elements that compose the core of Kyriazopoulos’s thought on this field, when attempting to delve into them and approach them interpretatively. Furthermore, I attempt to indicate those points of his philosophical considerations that, in my view, constitute a contribution to studying and comprehending not only the Presocratic but also the Aristotelian thought. In the first Chapter of this Thesis, entitled “Spyros Kyriazopoulos and the Question of the Origin of Philosophy,” my purpose is to thoroughly present and analyze Kyriazopoulos’s views on the reasons and the historical causes that led to the emergence of rational thought and the advent of philosophy in the city-states of Ionia during the 6th century B.C. Subsequently, I deal with his ideas on the Presocratic Philosophy and, moreover, his position on the importance of the concept of ‘infinite’ (apeiron) in Anaximander. In addition to this, I examine the contribution of both Kyriazopoulos and his students to comprehending Heraclitus’s philosophy. In his work The Event of Philosophy (1969) Kyriazopoulos maintains that the emergence of the philosophical thought in Ionia is due to the multiple processes that took place in ancient Greek society after the fall of the Mycenaean kingdoms. According to Kyriazopoulos, the arrival of philosophy in Ionia is due to four important factors, as well as to their the social, political and spiritual consequences. These factors are a) the maritime way of life, b) the alphabetization of the spoken Greek language, c) civic action, and d) the personal stance, meaning the awakening of personality. Kyriazopoulos proceeds to a multifaceted approach of the question of the origin of philosophy. Many scholars and philosophers have dealt with the problem of the origins of philosophy. Yet Kyriazopoulos, by placing this problem in its historic context, he approaches it in a distinctive way, gives prominence to its actual dimensions and ends to seminal conclusions. As far as the Presocratics are concerned, what is worth paying great attention to is the interpretation of the concept of ‘infinite’ (apeiron) in Anaximander, that Kyriazopoulos gives in his essay “The geopolitical notion of ‘infinite’ (apeiron) in Anaximander.” As he argues, Anaximander with the term ‘infinite’ (apeiron) did not want to state the denial of limits in space or time, but the incapability of breaking a barrier in the direction of motion. This significance of ‘infinite’ (apeiron) allows Kyriazopoulos to make an interesting sociopolitical interpretation of the Anaximader’s conception of the first principle. Citing a series of linguistic elements and other evidence, he concludes in the case that Anaximander’s ‘apeiron’ coincides with earth and is the opposite element of water that is projected as the first cosmological principle by Thales. In the second Chapter of this Thesis, entitled “Spyros Kyriazopoulos and the Aristotelian Philosophy,” a thorough reference to the interpretative propositions on Aristotelian ethics is made, as they are developed in his work Political Causes of Aristotle’s Ethics (1971). His views on the importance of the battle of Chaeronea, is also discussed in terms of comprehending Aristotle’s ethics. Moreover, Kyriazopoulos’s view on the meaning of altruism in Aristotle is analyzed, as well as his ideas on Aristotle’s Poetics. Kyriazopoulos claims that in order to comprehend the Aristotelian ethics, its sociopolitical prerequisites should be investigated, under the prism of the significance of the battle of Chaeronea, as it mainly resulted in the abolition of autonomy of the Greek city-states. Kyriazopoulos emphasizes the humanitarian character of the Aristotle’s ethics that, according to him, stems from Aristotle’s opinion of the virtue of justice, thanks to which the evaluative shift from I to Thou is achieved. This shift is what makes someone capable of overcoming themselves and be led to accomplish altruistic acts. According to Kyriazopoulos, Aristotle’s request for philanthropy suggests the divergence between ethics and politics in his era, which was a result of the battle of Chaeronea and the crisis it brought upon. The projection of friendship as the highest virtue and the demand for equity in Aristotle’s ethics, were consequences of this crisis and made equity a core aspect of his theory about justice. According to Kyriazopoulos, Aristotle’s ethics is characterized by the spirit of equity and genuine altruistic interest, so as to fairly be considered as a prelude of the Christian altruism. Aristotle’s ethics is an ethics of “virtuous acts” that cannot exist without complying to moderation. Kyriazopoulos points out that in the Nicomachean Ethics the metaphysical foundations of ethics are absent and, therefore, the value of virtue has a subjective foundation. He considers that Aristotle’s conception of the prudent and the good man, who is projected as the measure of appropriate ethical behavior, is another indication of distinguishing ethics from politics, after the battle of Chaeronea. About Aristotle’s Poetics, Kyriazopoulos points out the impact this had in the theoretical foundation of the “socialist realism” and attempts to interpret in a sociopolitical manner Aristotle’s lessened appreciation towards the lyric element, as well as his indifference for the poet’s inner world. Kyriazopoulos greatly emphasizes on Aristotle’s view that poetry represents, apart from others, “what ought to be”, which means that it can show to man how he should act at various situations in life. The final thought is that the way Kyriazopoulos elaborates his arguments reveals his passion for philosophy, his wish to mentally serve it with all his power and his intention to set philosophy in the service of humanism. | en |
