En dat is Eva. (Eva Lilith: what's in a name?)
- "In Strauss's account, Eve was the first lover of knowledge; the first seeker after wisdom; the first philo-sophoi [sic]. If man is distinguished from other animals by reason, the desire to know or the love of knowledge, then Eve was the first truly human being. In view of the close alliance between philosophy and eros, Eve is a particularly appropriate symbol of the love of wisdom. But Eve is also the representative of evil, of wickedness, and of the disobedience of God. However, God's prohibition was given to Adam; He had not spoken to Eve directly. She knew of it only through Adam. Strauss curiously comments that she knew of the prohibition only from 'tradition'. This is an important clue. The philosopher, the lover of knowledge must necessarily set herself against tradition, convention or the ancestral.

The fate of philosophy in the world is the same as the fate God inflicts on Eve. She is to be subject to the authority of Adam, the ancestral, the one who came first (at least in one out of the two accounts of man's creation provided in Genesis). If Eve is to have any freedom in the world, she must retire to the private domain and shun the glory of the public realm. Likewise, philosophy must live eternally in the shadow of the ancestral and avoid offending it for fear of its very life. If it is to enjoy a modest freedom, it must keep itself hidden and shun the glory of power and politics. This is not to say (contrary to the way in which Strauss is generally understood or misunderstood) that philosophy has nothing to do with politics or nothing to offer it. On the contrary, it has a great deal to offer, so much so that any happiness man can attain depends on philosophy's success in secretly influencing the powers that be and ruling vicariously or behind the scenes, as women have always ruled over men." (Shadia Drury, The Political Ideas of Leo Strauss, pp. 44-45.)
Ja en nee, denk ik. Het is iets voor een mannenbrein, maar hoewel meer mannen mannenbreinen en meer vrouwen vrouwenbreinen hebben, heeft niet iedere man een mannenbrein en niet iedere vrouw een vrouwenbrein. Ik verwijs hiermee naar Baron-Cohen's The Essential Difference.DisQ schreef:Wow, 1 vrouw, lol.
Is filosofie een mannending?
