In doing so, this study focuses on the explicit and implicit references to earthly immortality and heroism in Plato’s dialogues, arguing for a distinction between the Time-bound ontology of the glory-seeking individual and the Being-centered ontology of the philosopher. Such an underlining of the ontological discrepancy between the ways of the hero and those of the philosopher makes this book a novel academic contribution. The dual focus discloses the clash of ontologies yet also reveals an implicit existential turmoil in Ancient Greek culture as to the anxieties surrounding one’s potential immortality. This title appeals to students and researchers working in Ancient philosophy and existentialism. 0aPhilosophy, Ancient. 0aOntology. 0aContinental Philosophy.14aAncient Philosophy / Classical Philosophy.24aOntology.24aContinental Philosophy.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303161912008iPrinted edition:z978303161914408iPrinted edition:z9783031619151 0aContributions to Hermeneutics,x2509-6095 ;v1440uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-61913-7
