Plato I
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This chapter opens a cycle of three looking at Kofman’s readings of Plato. It thus begins by providing context around Kofman’s early love for Plato through her own school and university education, and then into her own teaching. We then move to look at Comment s’en sortir? (1983), in which Kofman discusses aporia in Plato, describing it vividly in terms of impossible or intolerable lived situations. The final section of the chapter discusses the Kofman article ‘Oneiric Mirrors and Mirages: Plato as a Precursor to Freud’ (1988). Here we see her addressing the interpretation of dreams, and the relation of dreamed thoughts to waking or rational thought.
