| Résumé anglais |
After some methodological considerations on comparative studies and a terminological inquiry into the Greek words for expressing ideas connected with « position », the author discusses two issues : 1) Change as a topic for research, since positions (wei) appear to have served as a tool for such an inquiry in China. 2) The association of place and position with rank, and accordingly with the expression of hierarchies. In this respect, some Greek uses of polarity and their various connections with political life are discussed. This leads him to consider singular positions which received specific attention in classical Antiquity : the middle or the « mean ». Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
