| Summary: | In the article, Socratic logos is used both metaphorically and literally. Its opposition to modern terminology and its meanings, such as “truth,” “the chronology of the Universe,” “space exploration,” and “the nature of space,” is metaphorical. The literal use demonstrates the potential of Socratic logos for modern inquiries into the Universe. Socratic logos is proposed to be used as a work. Namely, in this meaning, it is an authoritative beginning for any research. On the other hand, Socratic logos guarantees proper continuity and systematisation of the research results. It helps to go beyond highly specialised terminology and its meanings to use its particular complexity to investigate global interdisciplinary complexity. Thirdly, the most important is the effectiveness and results of its use. An example of the upward path “What is aletheia?” shows the work of Socratic logos and its result. The main feature of Socratic logos is that it does not provide for the victorious proclamation of “Truth” in the form of one or another cosmological model. However, it leads to the critical dichotomy of the kósmos, based on the metric expansion and compatible with the Hubble-Lemaître law. |
