Editor's Note:
Esta pesquisa de Marcel Detienne - Iniciada em 1960 como um breve artigo, "terminada em 1965 e apresentada para a obtenção do grau de PhD na Universidade de Liège - partia de uma observação simples: na Grécia arcaica, três personagens, o adivinho, o acedo e o rei justiceiro, têm em comum o privilégio de dispensadores da Verdade pelo simples fato de terem as qualidades que os distiguem. O poeta, o vidente e o rei compartilham de um mesmo tipo de discurso. Graças ao poder religioso da Memória, Mnemosyne, o poeta e o adivinho têm acesso direito ao além, enxergam o invisível, enunciam 'o que foi , o que é, o que será'. Dotado desse saber inspirado, o poeta celebra com sua palavra cantada os feitos e as ações humanas que, assim, entram no esplendor e na luz e recebem força vital e plenitude do ser. De modo homólogo, o discurso do rei, baseado em procedimentos ordálicos, possui uma virtude oracular; realiza a justiça; instaura a ordem do direito sem prova nem inquérito. No cerne desse discurso, proferido pelas mesmas três personagens, aloja-se Alethéia, potência inseparável de um grupo de entidades religiosas que lhe estão ao mesmo tempo associadas e opostas. (...) No meio dessa configuração de ordem mítico-religiosa, Alethéia enuncia uma verdade assertórica; ela é potência de eficácia, é criadora de ser. O discurso verdadeiro é o 'discurso proferido por quem de direito e segundo o ritual exigido', como dirá Foucault. (...) Qual é então o lugar do filósofo e do sofista na linhagem dos 'Mestres da Verdade'? Como o discurso de ambos se diferencia do discurso eficaz e portador da do real, proferido pelo adivinho, pelo poeta e pelo rei justiceiro? Como ocorre a passagem de um pensamento marcado pela ambiguidade e sua lógica para outro que parece abrir um novo regime intelectual, o da argumentação, do princípio de não contradição, do diálogo com, o sentido, com o objeto de um enunciado e de sua referência?" (Abertura, p. viii-ix). Tradução de Ivone C. Benedetti.
