阿多论苏格拉底的形象与精神修炼
Hadot on the Figure and Spiritual Exercise of Socrates

阿多认为柏拉图在《会饮篇》中将三个形象与苏格拉底关联，他们分别是西勒诺斯，厄洛斯和狄奥尼索斯。借助这些形象，阿多进一步从精神修炼的视角论述了苏格拉底的哲学，这尤其表现在苏格拉底的反讽中，这种反讽可以分为论辩式的反讽和厄洛斯式的反讽。论辩式的反讽使对话者意识到自身的问题与语言的界限。这迫使对话者走向了厄洛斯式的反讽，人们在此进入到了生活中，在生存之中寻求苏格拉底的问题的答案。通过这一解读，阿多提供了一种理解古代哲学的新的视角。
Hadot believed that Plato associated three figures with Socrates in the Symposium: Silenus, Eros and Dionysus. With the help of these images, Hadot further discusses Socrates’ philosophy from the perspective of spiritual exercise, which is especially reflected in Socrates’ irony, which can be di-vided into dialectical irony and Erotic irony. Dialectical irony makes the interlocutor aware of his own problems and the limits of language. This forces the interlocutor to move towards Erotic irony, where people enter into life and seek answers to Socrates’ questions in existence. Through this in-terpretation, Addo gives a new perspective on understanding ancient philosophy.
