Filosofía y política

Abstract

We seek to ascertain the relations between politics, understood in the most ordinary sense of the word, and philosophy. To this end, we analyze and interpret some fragments of Heraclitus about "the common" (to xunon) and the assertions and experiences of other philosophers, such as Nietzsche and Plato. Through this comparison we fix some essential traits of both politics and philosophy and propose what could be a non-distorted relation between them.
