Platonic Henology and Conceptual Crisis
Platonic Henology and Conceptual Crisis

Summary/Abstract: The following lines start from the premise that most of the crises which "generate" in one way or another modernity (including its last form, that of postmodernism) represent just the concrete manifestation of the impossibility to resolve the platonic "aporia" of the One and the Multiple, highlighted in the Parmenide's dialog. For what comes next we will try to show that: · not incidentally the logic takes the lead at present; · none of Plato's "aporia" about the One and the Multiple were solved until now; · and what is more, only our days these paradoxes were taken to the end; in other words, only at present their flourishing in the concrete starts to bear fruits. And even more, beyond happiness or unhappiness, the fruits of this fertility cannot be - as long as their seeds wouldn't have been conscious - but of one kind: fruits of wrath. The conflict in Kosovo stands as a good example.
