الحكمة و المدينة : جدل الأصل و الفصل

Abstract EN

Some philosophers have asserted, not only the corollary but also, the existential relationship between philosophy and democracy.

This is why political interpretation of the genesis of philosophy is widespread, bearing in mind that its emergence had been marked in Greece in the sixth century BC, given the political reforms that started from the wise Solon’s amendments, and which then stretched all over the reign of Pericles.

While we may accept this thesis, for its considerable veracity and historical bearing, many other problems will appear because of the rivalries and unrest resurfacing between wisdom and the city, or between philosophy and democracy.

All these themes are addressed under the fundamental question: How did the relationship between philosophy and democracy form throughout Greek history? And what was the impact, ramification and extension of such unstable relationship in subsequent eras?
