Abstract
ABSTRACT This article explores certain structural resonances between Plato’s Theaetetus and Martin Heidegger’s (1979) Heraclitus lectures from 1943 to 1944. Specifically, it is argued that these two texts, each in their own way and from out of their own unique historical contexts, present philosophy as a matter of reception, of learning how to receive the truth of things as it is given. Furthermore, in developing this receptive philosophical posture, each text offers a radical critique of a certain understanding of power – or, more precisely, the will to power – both in its philosophical and political registers.
