Manin, I. A. In Search for the Path To the Ancient Man

Abstract: The article is devoted to the methodological concepts lying in the basis of the solution of philosophical and anthropological tasks based on Homer’s poems and expressions of the ‘first philosophers’ (Heraclitus and Parmenides). These tasks are usually solved by applying later concepts and terms to interpretation of ancient Greek texts. By calling that approach ‘stylization’, the author of the present article points out obvious disadvantages of it and tries to find an alternative approach. The purpose of the article is to establish methodological grounds for another approach which would go beyond the limits of the ‘stylizing’ approach. As a result, the author outlines the approach to studying the ancient man through practices mentioned in speeches and orations of Homer, Heraclitus and Parmenides.


Keywords:

human, ancient times, philosophical anthropology, Homer, Heraclitus, Parmenides, stylization, truth, personality.
