World without Creation: From the Perspective of Antiquity

Piotr Kozioł

Abstract

„Creation” is one of the notions that convey the truth about historical changes of Western philosophical systems. Reflections on its nature, as well as its explication, may not be free, and the question concerning the genesis of creation requires a special kind of self-observation in the course of asking. In the case of all contemporary translations and interpretations of ancient works, the word „creation” is accompanied by the term „poiesis”. The latter one is contrasted with both „creating the new”. Placing creation in the world of Parmenidas, Plato or Lucretius is an act of creating of antiquity rejoinder – the one corresponding first of all with the ideas of a contemporary historian of philosophy. In order to reverse this dependence, the author of the paper stands out against misconceptions widespread in relevant literature; he reveals the meaning of the ancient arche which excludes the presence of creation in the ancient discourse, exhibiting the conditions of interpretative falsification that takes place in the case of translating the Greek term „poiesis” as „creation”. An attempt was also made to show certain cultural differences that have vanished in the course of the process of imitative reconstruction aimed interpretative uniformity.

Keywords:
