Abstract

In this paper I want to explore a special kind of perspective that is represented by Aristophanes in his play “ the Clouds/Nephelai” with regard to the logos / speech of Socrates. According to the chosen perspective we have some perception of the Socrates’ logos that may be different from the other person(s). For example, when choose the philosophical view according to it may numerate these qualities as the characteristics of the philosophical or Socrates’ logos: omnipotence; ideality; and truthfulness. These qualities may be different from the perspective of another person or the qualities of another and different view such as Aristophanes in this context.

Keywords: Logos, Philosophical, Poetic, Agony, Truth, Play
