dc.description.abstract | There is a broadly shared belief among historians according to which the ideas
of Xenophanes of Colophon (and especially fragment B 18 in Diels-Kranz) should be
understood as the earliest expression of the idea of progress, a belief in possibility of
discovering possibilities of betterment. On the other hand, Hesiod’s story of five generations
is usually recognized as a model example of quite the opposite thesis,
stressing regress, the fall of humanity. This contradiction is highlighted by the fact
that Xenophanes criticises the views on gods from Homer’s and Hesiod’s writings. In
this paper I analyse Works and Days by Hesiod as well as remaining fragments of
Xenophon’s writings. It seems that Hesiod is first of all interested in diagnosis of
the sources of human misery and suffering, and not in describing some historical
process of degradation of man. Contrary to this, Xenophanes develops a philosophical
framework mostly consisting of epistemological reflection that calls for rejection
of the hubris of reason which coincides with hasty and dogmatic judgement of both
gods and the world itself. The two thinkers agree that the human fortune, however
dependent on gods-established necessity, lays to a degree in man’s own hands
thanks to humbleness, piety and wisdom. Thus, their standpoints are not contradictory
in historical-philosophical perspective, quite the opposite, they agree in belief in
progress, in betterment. | pl_PL |
