%0 Journal Article %T Plato¡¯s Protagoras myth on origin and genesis of humans %A Dereti£¿ Irina %J Theoria, Beograd %D 2012 %I Serbian Philosophical Society, Belgrade %R 10.2298/theo1204077d %X The main claim of the paper is that, according to Plato's Protagoras myth, humana are multidimensional beings with various dispositions, which have been gradually developed through time. In my opinion, after the creation of humankind had been finished, some human dispositions were further developed and differentiated through time. In this myth four stages are described, out of which third and fourth are to be understood as the temporal phases. I will endeavor to show that each of them can be better accounted for by using the different hermeneutical models, or finding out which theory underlines each of these four stages. %K Plato %K Protagora %K Myth %K Humans %K Culture %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/0351-2274/2012/0351-22741204077D.pdf
