The Encounter-Characters of the realm of people Beings: συμφέρον, βλαβερὸν, and ἀγαθόν. Λόγος as Self-Expression with Others approximately what's Conducive to the top of outrage We needs to pursue, via λόγος, the dual-character that arises from the truth that the indicating of the realm as encountered in φωνή can be the signaling of being-in-the-world. We needs to make clear how conversing, insofar because it is a uncomplicated phenomenon of being, is itself derived from the fundamental mode of being as beingwith-one-another. How is being-in the-world via λόγος unique from being-in the-world via φωνή? it is going to be proven the following how φωνή is a basic being-determination of animals, like λόγος is for humans, and that it has a twin functionality: (1) the indication of anything, of the realm as ἡδύ and λυπηρόν, (2) which, as sign, constitutes that that is obvious as attribute of the being-with-oneanother of animals. during this being-in-the-world of animals, the ordinary being of animals as such—being-with-one-another—manifests itself. Aristotle offers the connection with φωνή and ζῷα as θηρία on the outset, so one can provide the proper history for the additional being-characteristic of humans on the planet, for the λόγος-investigation. we'll now examine how the attribute being of humans of their global as being-with-one-another turns into seen in λόγος, the way it is exactly in λόγος that κοινωνία is consti- 40 The Aristotelian Definition of the Being-There [56–57] tuted, the having-there-with-one-another of the area during which people are. If λόγος constitutes the having-there-with-one-another of the realm, the decision of being-with-one-another is constituted in it. And the decision of the ζῷον λόγον ἔχον needs to then, whilst, comprise inside of itself the choice of the ζῷον πολιτικόν. which means people are this kind of residing factor that may be φύσει when it comes to the πόλις: this specified being-with-one-another isn't whatever that's delivered to people, yet is quite the being-possibility. For the Greeks, it's insofar as humans dwell within the πόλις that they're certainly human. Being-with-one-another, as a primary selection of the being of humans should still develop into glaring via nearer attention of λόγος as that mode during which people have their international there. with a purpose to see what's at factor, one needs to put aside, from the outset, a prejudice that, now greater than ever, we're vulnerable to convey to undergo on our attention. you'll be able to recognize the problem in this type of approach that, in φωνή and in λόγος, reality is grasped in a distinct admire, specifically, that the area is there from a distinct “point of view,” from some degree of view relative to the “subject,” that's, the realm is encountered merely from a “subjective element of view,” no longer surely in itself, as though it have been an issue of a distinct mode of apprehending the area. This orientation towards topic and item has to be essentially put aside. not just is it the case that those easy options, subject/object, and what they suggest, don't seem in Greek philosophy, yet even the orientation of subject/object in Greek philosophy is incomprehensible insofar as they aren't interested in characterizing a style of apprehending the realm.
