The Poetic Reading of Existence and Adopting a Pseudonym Through Irony

The language, wording and tone selected by the thinker in dialogues between individuals creates a situation by which personal experiment could enter the public arena. The characters of such a drama carry the pseudonym of the philosopher in a passionate conversation that roots in philosophical thought. Kierkegaard is well-known in this path. He wrote many of his crucial philosophical texts under a pseudonym. Before Kierkegaard, Plato _the father of philosophy_ chose a pseudonym called Socrates for changing and transforming the oral tradition of philosophical thought into a text. The available platonic writing set which describes Socrates is a representation of the status of a philosopher-citizen who turns into the hero of a philosophical drama amid various complicated historical, political, and social crisis of his society. And it sounds like a riotous outburst from the one who knows enough to be able to boast everywhere and exhibit the ignorance and wisdom limits for everyone. According to Plato, Socrates is one of the others inside an author who are talking to each other in eternal symposium dimensions. A conversation toward a transcendental matter. Socrates had announced that first and foremost he wanted to be in reality that if there is any reality, it would reveal through trimming at where we are, in public arena at Agora where people socialize with other people in the heart of Athens in 399 BC. Whether the rebel of dense clouds of ridicule city was a fraud rhetorician or the martyr of awareness incident who took a romantic gamble on his disciple’s martyrdom for faith, covenant, and the worn-out hidden clarity of the egotist democracy and finally made a choice out of compulsion. The accused had been delivering ‘apology’ which is the same as ‘defense’ in Greek, in front of the judges and the society conscience in the public arena. Thus it is dramatic even if its narrator and author would like to act the role of an honest reporter of a reliable event.
