dc.description.abstractSince the birth of democracy in antiquity, its corruption has been criticized. The target of this criticism was established early on: the sophists. The plot is well-known: the democratic polis engendered the need for the knowledge of speaking in the assembly and in court; and the sophists presented themselves as teachers of this art, focusing only on the element of persuasion and not on truth – indeed, the origin of moral decay. We have thereby carelessly endorsed the idealization of the signifier "democracy" with an aristocratic trait with its traditional moralistic rancidity. Instead, it may be exactly in the legacy of the ancient sophists that we can trace the meaning of this broad term, democracy. In fact, it was in the scope of the sophists' thoughts that the following arguments emerged: the difference between nature and convention, the natural equality of Greeks and barbarians, the unnatural character of slavery, the irreducibility of the political domain to that of technique, the link between pedagogy and politics, the problematic character of language beyond its apparently banal status of the representation of the real, the limited character of human knowledge, agnostic restr ict ion in the face of dogmat ic convict ion, the inevitable ir rupt ion of contradictory speeches and the relativity of religious, moral and aesthetic values.eng
dc.description.abstractDesde o nascimento da democracia na antiguidade que se reclama em paralelo de sua própria corrupção. Cedo foram nomeados os espantalhos a encarnar o alvo dessa crítica: os sofistas. Bem conhecido é o enredo: a polis democrática engendrou a necessidade de saber falar na assembleia e no tribunal e os sofistas se apresentaram como professores dessa arte, preocupando-se apenas com o elemento de convencimento, e não com a verdade, donde, al iás, a decadência moral. E assim endossamos inadvertidamente a idealização de cunho aristocrático do significante “democracia”, com seu tradicional ranço moralista. Mas talvez, ao contrário, seja no legado dos sofistas antigos que haveremos de rastrear sentido para este significante. Afinal foi no âmbito do pensamento sofístico que surgiram os argumentos da diferença entre natureza e convenção, da igualdade natural de gregos e bárbaros, do caráter não-natural da escravidão, da irredutibilidade do domínio político ao da técnica, do vínculo entre pedagogia e política, do caráter problemático da linguagem para além do seu estatuto aparentemente banal de representação do real, do caráter humano e limitado de todo conhecimento, da reserva agnóstica perante a convicção dogmática, da irrupção inevitável do contraditório e da relatividade dos valores religiosos, morais e estéticos.por
