title = "Commentary on Figal",
abstract = "Tracing the contours of G{\"u}nter Figal's analysis of the character and consequences of the emergence of philosophy as this emergence is presented in Plato's Symposium, this paper also takes some issue with Figal's tendency to grasp this emergence too much as a philosopher, that is, as still too committed to the logic of the concept and its transparency. Figal argues that, in the end, nothing is lost in the move into logos, into the language of philosophy, from the language of mythos that precedes it. This paper highlights some of Figal's very interesting and innovative remarks on this issue in Plato, but concludes by questioning the legitimacy of his final claim that {"}nothing is lost{"} in the move into logos.",
