Book discussion on Gwenda-lin Grewal’s\, Thinking About Death in Plato’s Euthy demus. A Close Reading and New Translation (OUP 2022)
\n< p> \nSpeakers:
\nGwenda-lin
Grewal (NSSR)

\nNicholas Pappas (CUNY)

Thinking of D eath places Plato’s Euthydemus among the dialogues that surround the trial and death of Socrates. A premonition of philosophy’s fate arrives in the form of Socrates’ encounter with the two-headed sophist pair\, Euthydemus and Dionysodorus\, who appear as if they are the ghost of the Socrates of Aristophanes’ Thinkery. The pair vacillate between choral ode and rhapsody \, as Plato vacillates between referring to them in the dual and plural nu mber in Greek. Gwenda-lin Grewal’s close reading explores how the structur e of the dialogue and the pair’s back-and-forth arguments bear a striking resemblance to thinking itself: in its immersive remove from reality\, thi nking simulates death even as it cannot conceive of its possibility. Euthy demus and Dionysodorus take this to an extreme\, and so emerge as the phil osophical dream and sophistic nightmare of being disembodied from substanc e. The Euthydemus is haunted by philosophy’s tenuous relationship to polit ical life. This is played out in the narration through Crito’s implied cri ticism of Socrates-the phantom image of the Athenian laws-and in the drama itself\, which appears to take place in Hades. Thinking of death thus bri ngs with it a lurid parody of the death of thinking: the farce of perfect philosophy that bears the gravity of the city’s sophistry. Grewal also pro vides a new translation of the Euthydemus that pays careful attention to g rammatical ambiguities\, nuances\, and wit in ways that substantially expa nd the reader’s access to the dialogue’s mysteries.

\nThroughout the 21st century\, philosophers of language have increasingly concerned themselves with the hateful\, coercive\, dehu manizing\, and deadly. In particular\, ‘non-ideal’ philosophers of languag e question whether received conceptual toolkits from philosophy of languag e manage to make contact with our non-ideal world at all. This paper takes up that methodological interest from a Wittgensteinian perspective. Drawi ng on critical interventions by Nancy Bauer\, Avner Baz\, Alice Crary\, Co ra Diamond\, and Toril Moi\, I argue that non-ideal philosophers of langua ge neutralize their ideology-critical bite when they presume an authoritat ive force for their words by virtue of a normatively neutral conception of reason. This neutralization is driven and sustained by an idle picture of language that isolates our words from the activities into which they are woven. To make discursive phenomena available in their political import\, we philosophers of language must acknowledge our own non-neutral involveme nt in the very discursive practices we’re theorizing – and this will requi re us to relinquish the entitlement to impose authoritative requirements o n language through theories of meaning.
\nTo illustrate the need for
normatively non-neutral methods in philosophical practice\, I focus on ca
ses where philosophers’ curious gaze treats trans people
\nas fascina
ting objects of knowledge\, as opposed to acknowledging us as interlocutor
s and recognizing the political stakes of our discursive practices. What i
nhibits the cultivation of acknowledgement\, of normatively resonant modes
of attention\, is a picture of philosophical theorizing that forbids us f
rom articulating our political solidarities through our work (and thus obf
uscates what we ourselves are doing with words when theorizing). The non-i
deal philosopher’s critical concept of idealization\, seen aright in a nor
matively non-neutral light\, exemplifies the sort of theoretical resource
that is mobilized by members of marginalized groups to invite such modes o
f attention – to shape not only our epistemic resources\, but also our sen
ses of what matters.
The virtually ubiquitous view of seeing-as experiences in Wittgenstein scholarship inte rprets them as conceptually-laden (with some exceptions\, e.g. Travis 2016 ). The claim is that we can see the same image differently due to switchin g the conceptual filters\, as it were\, through which we experience the im age (e.g. Schroeder 2010\; Mulhall 2001). In this paper I focus on a speci fic kind of a seeing-as experience for which Wittgenstein’s example of sud denly noticing the similarity between faces is the paradigm. I argue that it is possible to have no concepts involved in this experience\, and propo se an understanding of what I call “the imagistic seeing-as” as a similari ty association\, of the kind that grounds poetic means of expression\, suc h as metaphors. The associative nature of this imagistic seeing-as experie nce may also contribute to the understanding of biases – both personal (e. g. displaced offence) and social (e.g. sexism).
