This article overviews the scholarly history of research centred on the Socratic problem. Eight breaking points in this history are identified and the developments emerging from them are analysed. 1) The pre-history of the Socratic problem began with the varying and conflicting portrayals of Socrates that sprang up during his lifetime and shortly after his death. 2) The problem was first explicitly admitted in the 18 th century with the earliest historical investigations critically pursuing the truth behind the fiction. 3) (...) The problem was then established in research in the 19 th century as a result of the influential remarks of Schleiermacher and Hegel on the discrepancies in Plato’s and Xenophon’s portrayals of Socrates. 4) In the beginning of the 20 th century, an emerging disapproval of Xenophon as a reliable source was accompanied by an elevation of the source value of Plato. 5) The crisis of the mid-20 th century took the form of a denial of the very possibility of reaching genuine knowledge of the historical Socrates. 6) The reaction to the crisis assumed the two-folded shape of a broadened study of the sources and a partial reappraisal of Plato’s trustworthiness. 7) Beginning from the 1990s, an optimistic program claiming that all of Plato’s early dialogues recreates the philosophy of the historical Socrates gained ground. 8) Today’s research climate is characterised by a renewed pessimism regarding the possibility of approaching the historical Socrates.

Hay toda una serie de preguntas que giran en torno a la problemática interna misma de la Scienza Nuova, y que sólo un "nuevo" concepto de ciencia -vinculado a la crítica de Vico a la formación de sistemas característica de la temprana Modernidad- las consigue responder de manera efectiva, bosquejando una nueva idea "orgánica" entre saber especulativo-teórico y saber orientado a los estados de cosas.There is a whole series of questions that revolves around the core problem of the Scienza Nuova: (...) only a "new" concept of science -linked to Vico's criticism of the formation of systems, characteristic of the early modernity- is able to respond to these questions in an effective manner, sketching a new "organic" idea between speculative-theoretical knowledge and knowledge directed to the state of things.

La juridicisation croissante de notre vie publique et le fonctionnement de l'Etat de droit ont rendu nécessaire de reposer la question des modes de raisonnement fondant désormais les décisions judiciaires, de plus en plus importantes, de plus en plus nombreuses, qui régissent notre activité quotidienne. L'enjeu n'en est pas négligeable. Au-delà d'une vision "technologique" du droit - le droit, une technique, un outil... -, c'est aussi, et de manière peut-être plus inquiétante, une vision plus politique qui en est souvent suggérée (...) : la mort annoncée du droit comme technique autonome, capable de résister au politique - simple habillage, habile camouflage, d'une décision dont la motivation ne serait jamais - ne pourrait jamais être - mise en échec, orientée, ou commandée par les contraintes du droit. Entre positivisme et réalisme, l'oscillation risque d'être catastrophique. Entre ces deux abîmes, cet ouvrage tente d'ouvrir les voies d'une réflexion rigoureuse et scientifique sur les moyens intellectuels les plus nécessaires à l'affirmation - et à l'affermissement - de l'Etat de droit.

Anknupfend an die platonische Begriffsbildung der "Kalokagathie" ("Schongute") wird seit dem 19. Jahrhundert diskutiert, inwieweit asthetischen Kategorien Aussagekraft auch fur Politik und Staat zukommt.

Eine kollektive Intelligenz kann dann gelingen, wenn sich ihre einzelnen Bestandteile in Kollektiv-Visionen auf sie beziehen. Diese Vorstellung prägt Utopien und Beschreibungen, in denen Medien als Hilfsmittel verteilter Intelligenz vorkommen. In einer Betrachtung der Medialität dieser Medien zeigt sich hingegen die Flüchtigkeit und Instabilität einer Formierung von kollektiver Intelligenz. Kollektiv-Visionen lassen sich einerseits als Strategien der Stabilisierung beobachten, andererseits als Darstellungen, in denen sich die Möglichkeiten kollektiver Intelligenz abzeichnen. Collective intelligence can be successful if each of its components relates to (...) it in collective visions. This idea characterizes utopia and descriptions, in which media appear as means of distributed intelligence. A consideration of the mediality of these media, however, highlights the volatility and instability of a formation of collective intelligence. Collective visions can be seen both as a strategy of stabilization and as representations from which the possibilities of collective intelligence emerge. (shrink)

Der Dialog »Menon« (399 v. Chr.) handelt von der Erkennbarkeit und Lehrbarkeit der Tugend. Ausgehend von dieser Fragestellung begründet und entwickelt Platon die Form und Methode hypothetischer Erkenntnis; der Dialog bietet daher auch eine gute Einführung in die Philosophie Platons.
