ABSTRACT
In the “threefold scheme of philosophy,” discursive thinking through is the foundation that allows philosophy to be complete on its own. The trópos of philosophy is to discursively think through the kalós to ascend to agathós, wherever kalós is the new physical reality in the subject-predicate relation “Order-hēgéomai.”
In this chapter, we think through the meaningful phúsis and its properties, that is, what characterises the form hominin as a competitive dúnamai. The subject-predicate relation “kalós-hēgéomai” or “sophists” forms the first property of the meaningful phúsis. It is that which advances the kalós into the external and the present and thus “turns” the hominin form towards unmixed/pure (eilikrinēs) phúsis. The subject-predicate relation “kalós-dialégesthai” or “philosophers” forms the second property. It is that which continuously and non-linearly purifies (kathaírō) unmixed/pure (eilikrinēs) phúsis and pursues/practises (epitēdeúō) it as aretē alēthinē. The trópos of the philosophers and sophists are the continuous and non-linear expression of the kalós in the highest idea. Hominins voluntarily “turn” and imitate the idea as it makes them competitive in agōn. As a result, the laws of the cosmos prevailed in everyday life, and the hominin form became the competitive dúnamai. The third axiom of education (and politeia) is formulated: “Where there is philosophy, there will always be dialectics; and where there is dialectics, there will be the unmixed/pure (eilikrinēs) phúsis.”
