Eros and Eris

the Trojan war and Heidegger on the essence of truth

Samuel IJsseling

pp. 1-10

Abstract

For the Greeks, The Trojan War is above all else an affair of the gods, of divine Eros and Eris. A central role in the war is played by Helen. All sorts of problems are raised concerning her guilt and responsibility, and for the Greeks this means chiefly whether she receives a good or bad name. These problems are raised against the background of the ambiguity of Eros and Eris. When Heidegger speaks about the essence of truth as class="EmphasisTypeItalic ">Urstreit and thereby explicitly refers to the "war" of Heraclitus and to Eros and Eris, this too can be understood in the framework of this ambivalence.
