Description
Summary:The contribution underlines the role of Mnēmosynē (Memory as the mother of the Muses) as a constitutive aspect of archaic poetry based on the etymological relationship between alētheia (as true knowledge) and lēthē (as forgetting), in which truth becomes – in a specific way – the negation of forgetting. The social role of the poet, who participates in perpetuation of truth, is closely related to the complementarity produced by Muse and Memory. The main purpose of this paper is to offer an answer to the question: “How can be this relationship transformed from the area of poiētikē technē to the area of philosophy and what is the place of Mnēmosynē in Plato´s anamnēsis (dialogue Meno)?”
