The Republic — Page 2

English → Korean INTRODUCTION AND ANALYSIS. Level 9/10

He was the greatest metaphysical genius whom the world has seen; and in him, more than in any other ancient thinker, the germs of future knowledge are contained.

그는 세상이 배출한 가장 위대한 형이상학적 천재였으며, 그 어떤 고대 사상가보다도 그에게서 미래 지식의 씨앗이 더 많이 담겨 있다.

The sciences of logic and psychology, which have supplied so many instruments of thought to after-ages, are based upon the analyses of Socrates and Plato.

후세에 수많은 사유의 도구를 제공해 온 논리학과 심리학은 소크라테스와 플라톤의 분석에 기초하고 있다.

The principles of definition, the law of contradiction, the fallacy of arguing in a circle, the distinction between the essence and accidents of a thing or notion, between means and ends, between causes and conditions; also the division of the mind into the rational, concupiscent, and irascible elements, or of pleasures and desires into necessary and unnecessary—these and other great forms of thought are all of them to be found in the Republic, and were probably first invented by Plato.

정의의 원리, 모순율, 순환 논증의 오류, 사물이나 개념의 본질과 우연적 속성 사이의 구분, 수단과 목적 사이의 구분, 원인과 조건 사이의 구분, 그리고 정신을 이성적·욕망적·격정적 요소로 나누는 것, 또는 쾌락과 욕구를 필요한 것과 불필요한 것으로 나누는 것—이것들과 그 밖의 위대한 사유 형식들은 모두 『국가』에서 발견되며, 아마도 플라톤이 처음으로 고안한 것들일 것이다.

The greatest of all logical truths, and the one of which writers on philosophy are most apt to lose sight, the difference between words and things, has been most strenuously insisted on by him (cp. Rep.; Polit.; Cratyl. 435, 436 ff), although he has not always avoided the confusion of them in his own writings (e.g. Rep.)

모든 논리적 진리 중 가장 위대하며 철학을 저술하는 이들이 가장 놓치기 쉬운 진리, 즉 말과 사물의 차이를 그는 가장 강력하게 주장하였으나 (참조: 『국가』; 『정치가』; 『크라튈로스』 435, 436 이하), 그 자신의 저작에서 이 둘의 혼동을 항상 피한 것은 아니었다 (예: 『국가』).

But he does not bind up truth in logical formulae,—logic is still veiled in metaphysics; and the science which he imagines to 'contemplate all truth and all existence' is very unlike the doctrine of the syllogism which Aristotle claims to have discovered (Soph. Elenchi, 33. 18).

그러나 그는 진리를 논리적 공식에 가두지 않는다—논리는 여전히 형이상학 속에 베일에 싸여 있으며, 그가 '모든 진리와 모든 존재를 관조한다'고 상상하는 학문은 아리스토텔레스가 자신이 발견했다고 주장하는 삼단논법의 이론과는 매우 다르다 (『소피스트적 논박』, 33. 18).
