The multiple ways of referring the “many”. Platonic and aristotelic reflections on the nature, the choices and the fate of the polloi”
Keywords:
Plato, Aristotle, polloi, logosAbstract
The purpose of this paper is to offer a confrontation between Plato’s and Aristotle’s reflections on the nature of the “many”, i.e., the behaviour, the ways of being, and the life choices of the majority of the human beings. Furthermore, we also intend to base our analysis in accordance with an “interpretative paradygm” having as its core the pollachos legomenon, i.e., the recognition that “anything is and can be said monifold”, what brings us to the conclusion that reading procedures and the descriptions of reality must be multiplied and kept as open as possible.
