Synopsis "Demóstenes. La Agonía de Grecia (in Spanish)"

Werner Jaeger afirma que "no es posible entender -sin Demóstenes- la funesta lucha intelectual y política de Grecia en el siglo IV a.C.". La figura de Demóstenes, Jaeger lo demuestra, ha resentido el efecto deformante de dos malinterpretaciones decisivas: una, la filológica, que rescata el solo brillo de su oratoria; la otra, histórica, que lo sitúa en la contracorriente que opone al curso implacable de los hechos un esfuerzo incomprendido y estéril. Los dos puntos de vista yerran, y no sólo por su parcialidad: al parcelar, mutilan y deforman. El autor afirma, en cambio, con una visión más precisa y sabia: Demóstenes tiene que ser considerado en su entera complejidad, las Filípicas deben leerse contra el fondo histórico, político e incluso filosófico que fueron su campo de posibilidad. Como hecho de la cultura griega, como generador de esa cultura (en su etapa de "agonía"), como político, Demóstenes ha de ser revalorado. No otra cosa hace Jaeger en esta obra. Por vez primera publicado en nuestro idioma -en la versión de Eduardo Nicol- en 1945, reeditado ahora, el 'Demóstenes' de Jaeger completa la monumental visión histórico-fílosófica contenida en 'Paideia', también impresa con nuestro sello editorial.No posee

Werner Jaeger (1888-1961) was an influential German philosopher and philologist, recognized for his work in the philosophy of the history of philosophy and ancient Greece. He studied at German universities and specialized in the work of Aristotle, to whom he dedicated much of his career. His most famous work is Aristotle: Founder of Scientific Philosophy, where he deeply analyzes Aristotle's contribution to science and philosophy.

Jaeger was also a prominent scholar, teaching at various institutions, including the University of Berlin, before emigrating to the United States in 1936 due to the Nazi regime. In America, he established himself as a professor at Harvard University, where he continued to develop his research on the Greek philosophical tradition.

Throughout his life, Jaeger promoted the study of classical philosophy, particularly ancient Greek philosophy, and influenced contemporary philosophical thought with his focus on the development of scientific thinking and logic. His legacy endures in studies on Aristotle and the history of ancient philosophy.
