Platón esete a magyar költőkkel. Morzsák egy olvasónaplóból
The Case of Plato with Hungarian Poets

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the image of Plato emerging from Hungarian poetry. The author presents several poetic interpretations of Plato, from Janus Pannonius to András Ferenc Kovács. The poet Plato, and Plato, who wanted to banish the poets from his Republic, appear in the analyzed verses as well as some key concepts or basic motifs of Plato’s philosophy. The so-called cave analogy or the myth of Atlantis is a particularly impressive poetic terrain. Plato is more than once quoted by poets in a satirical-ironic tone, but there are also examples of them arguing with Derrida’s reading of Plato.
