Diamythologõmen: A Philosophical Portrait of a Philosopher Philosophizing

Dia-mytho-log- men: the first person plural present subjunctive active form of an ancient Greek verb meaning 'to converse, ' or, more literally, 'to tell stories, ' and more literally still, 'to speak about by way of myth.' Adapted from Plato's Phaedo (70b6), the word functions here as a hortatory subjunctive: 'Let us converse, tell stories, mythologize.' The book is a narrative account of the thinking life of a philosopher, in his mind, in the classroom, in scholarship, and in and through the creative writing of philosophy.
