Example text
From the start the contradiction of excellent style relates to metaphor: “Metaphor possesses the clear, the pleasant, and the strange in the highest degree, and it is not possible to receive metaphor from the hands of another” (Rhet. III, 1405a8–10). It is therefore the contradictory virtues of metaphor, “clear and,” which make its originality decisive, the mark of the “style” of each one, inasmuch as the style is the man. In other words, it is in metaphor qua original that the contradictory components of clarity and attractiveness reach conciliation.
Besides, reading πρώτων obscures without a doubt one of the objectives of the passage: the anti-Platonism of this beginning of the treatise, written as a counterpoint to Cratylus (Kretzmann’s thesis). The most important reason to choose πρώτως over πρώτων can be drawn from Kretzmann, 1974, and from Pépin, 1985. However, whichever text is established, the whole movement that goes from logos to the soul, and from the soul to things themselves, remains unalterable and paradigmatic. ] 5 It would be necessary to follow, step by step, the parallel analyses that Heidegger proposes, in 1 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 17 15 16 39 particular of De Anima, De Interpretatione, and Metaphysics IX, in Logik (GA 21, §§11–14, 127–95).
If we refuse, we can neither speak nor understand what we see; but “there is only understanding,” in an echolalic narcissism of logos. Apodeixis and Epideixis, Demonstration and Performance Deixis is the act and the art of showing without words, like Cratylus pointing his index finger at the disappearing phenomenon, or like Justice in Parmenides’ poem, pointing to the path of being with a sovereign gesture. Apodeixis is the art of showing by making what has already been shown into a ground for what follows, to demonstrate (dé-montrer).
