Слово и действие при Солон: контекст и перформатив
Speech and Deeds in Solon: Context and Performativity

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents some evidences about the “speech and deeds” of the famous Athenian wiseman, legislator and poet from the Archaic age, Solon. The performative situations in question, mainly according Plutarch’s “Live of Solon”, are interpreted also in the terms of the modern analytical philosophy in order both to deepen and do reformulate methodically our understanding of the specificity of the preliminary oral Archaic culture and of the forms and dimensions of the successful communication between citizens and ruling subjects. Discussed are episodes with theatrically setting in state of emergency, but also other, rejecting the playful substitution of roles in the real theatre performance; examples of political anger and weakness... However, figures like Solon are as a rule described as speaking and acting in search for the proper recipients and for the truth to the attainable for a human being degree.
