Plato and Europe (Cultural Memory in the Present)  

 

與胡塞爾和海德格爾一起學習的捷克哲學家簡·帕託卡(Jan Patocka,1907-1977年)被廣泛認為是戰後東歐最具影響力的思想家。二戰後拒絕加入共產黨,除了1968年布拉格春季自由化之後的短暫時間外,他一輩子都被禁止出版學術出版物。加入瓦茨拉夫·哈維爾和吉日·哈傑克擔任發言人圖77人權宣言1977年,Patocka被當局騷擾,被捕,最後在長時間的審訊中死於心髒病。

柏拉圖和歐洲,可以說是帕托庫卡最重要的著作,是在他去世前三年從學院最後一次流放後,在朋友家中發表的一系列講座。在這裡,他提出了關於西方哲學史的最成熟的觀點,認為關心靈魂的觀念是從希臘人開始的哲學傳統的基礎。解釋如何把關心的精神闡述為人類如何使自己的世界成為真理和正義的問題,帕特庫卡通過對柏拉圖,德謨克利特和亞里士多德的處理來發展這個論點,表明對心靈的考慮是中心的在他們的著作中的重要性。他以生動的方式展示了這個觀念如何形成了歐洲的精神遺產。

The Czech philosopher Jan Patocka (1907-1977), who studied with Husserl and Heidegger, is widely recognized as the most influential thinker to come from postwar Eastern Europe. Refusing to join the Communist party after World War II, he was banned from academia and publication for the rest of his life, except for a brief time following the liberalizations of the Prague spring of 1968. Joining Vaclav Havel and Jiri Hajek as a spokesman for the Chart 77 human-rights declaration of 1977, Patocka was harassed by authorities, arrested, and finally died of a heart attack during prolonged interrogation. Plato and Europe, arguably Patocka's most important book, consists of a series of lectures delivered in the homes of friends after his last banishment from the academy just three years before his death. Here, he presents his most mature ideas about the history of Western philosophy, arguing that the idea of the care of the soul is fundamental to the philosophical tradition beginning with the Greeks. Explaining how the care of the soul is elaborated as the problem of how human beings may make their world one of truth and justice, Patocka develops this thesis through a treatment of Plato, Democritus, and Aristotle, showing how considerations about the soul are of central importance in their writings. He demonstrates in vivid fashion how this idea forms the spiritual heritage of Europe.
