Filip Karfík professzor emeritus (Károly Egyetem; Fribourgi Egyetem) Between Form and Body: On the Soul in Plato címmel tart előadást az ELTE HTK Filozófiai Kutatóintézet Intézeti szeminárium sorozatának keretében.
Absztrakt:
The soul, as Plato presents it in the dialogues, differs not only from the body but also from intelligible Forms. However, it enters no less into communion with the former than with the latter. The paper examines these two different kinds of communion. On the one hand, there is intelligible Being, which is itself impassible but of which the soul is receptive; on the other hand, there is the body, which has a capacity to act and to be acted upon in relation both to other bodies and to souls. Between these two terms, we find the soul, which possesses the capacity to act and to be acted upon in relation to bodies and to other souls, but also, unlike the body, in relation to itself, namely self-motion. The latter capacity is what makes the soul an entity sui generis, different from both the body and the intelligible Form, but also capable of entering into communion with both of them and making itself more similar to the one or to the other.
