Beschreibung

Dia·mytho·log·õmen: the first person plural present subjunctive active form of an ancient Greek verb meaning 'to converse,' or, more literally, 'to tell stories,' and more literally still, 'to speak about by way of myth.' Adapted from Plato’s Phaedo (70b6), the word functions here as a hortatory subjunctive: 'Let us converse, tell stories, mythologize.' The book is a narrative account of the thinking life of a philosopher, in his mind, in the classroom, in scholarship, and in and through the creative writing of philosophy.
