柏拉图：诗哲之争还是诗哲对话？

摘要

本文旨在对柏拉图笔下的诗哲之争这个古老的西方命题进行新的解读。尽管学界对诗哲之争一直视为理所当然，但是本文从跨学科的视角指出，无论是从柏拉图自身的气质还是其对话来仔细判断，诗与哲学的争执都只是一种假象。正如哲学家柏拉图同时也是诗人柏拉图，诗与哲学不过是表述同一个世界的两种话语。它们之间真正的关系与其说是争执性的，不如说是对话性的。重估诗哲关系需要当代柏拉图研究者打破专业藩篱，相互借力。本文的研究将在一定程度上更新学界对诗哲关系以及柏拉图的认知。%Thispaper studies anew the old topic of the quarrel betweenpoetry andphilosophyput forward by Plato. While the quarrel has been taken for granted, this study argues from a cross-disciplinaryperspective that the so-called quarrel is a deception if we judge Plato’s temperament and dialogues as a whole. As Plato is both apoet andphilosopher,poetry andphilosophy are two discourses he adopts in approach-ing the same world. The actual relationship betweenpoetry andphilosophy is more dialogic than antagonistic. It is necessary for Platonic scholars of differentifelds to step across their disciplinary boundaries and learn from each other. Thispaper would to some extent update the scholarship about this topic and Plato.
