EMPEDOEKLES: BETWEEN REALITY AND FICTION

Summary/Abstract: Insufficiency and inaccuracy of historical sources utilizes quite frequently the expereince of artistic fiction in the attempt to make a relevant judgement on the certain era, deed, man. Perhaps the most striking examples of such supplement are represented by Acragant’s philosopher Empedoekles (controversial and often opposite and untenable statements were made on his life and work) and J. H. F. Hölderlin (he is called the last great »Hellenic« poet, although he lived some twenty centuries later) with his uncompleted drama Empedoekl’s Drama. Through constant substitution and supplementation of historical and fictional, we postulated the general thesis which we hold to be true: »Speaking in between«, as the only possible speech, and reality and fiction as horizons of the reachable, real Being.
