The paper offers an analysis of Plato's conception of the care of the self in his 'Gorgias'. There are two components of the self-care: self-knowledge and self-control. The first part deals with self-knowledge. The second part asks the question, whether can be there a fixed model of the individual soul's order. The third part of the paper deals with Plato's conception of self-control. The last part is concerned with the problem of self-control training.

The importance of philosophical contribution of Byzantium has been strengthened after the World War II by V. Tatakis, professor of philosophy at the Aristotle University in Tessaloniki, Greece. His book La Philosophie Byzantine published in Paris in 1949 is considered a pioneer work in the field. It was also the first general introduction to Byzantine philosophy to appear. It brought the term “Byzantine philosophy” into academic field and was the first systematic work on Byzantine philosophy; it was a significant landmark from the international perspective of the later study of Byzantine philosophy. Before Tatakis’ book was published, neither Western, nor Greek historiography acknowledged the existence of the philosophical thinking in the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire, which lasted 11 centuries. The term “Byzantine philosophy” was officially introduced in 1975 as a name for the international research and study. The Byzantine philosophy is not explored sufficiently in Slovakia. This article wants to contribute to the study of Byzantine philosophy in Slovak academic milieu.

The following article is an attempt at indicating the influence Parmenides’ thought had on later Greek philosophy (especially that of Aristotle) from the perspective of the meaning of “phronesis”. Beginning with an analysis of passages from Heraclitus connected with this category the semantic context of the understanding of phronesis in Parmenides’ thought is presented. The key in these considerations is Parmenides’ distinction between two ways of inquiry, which is given the name of methodological criticism in this article. On the basis of this distinction, it is possible to explain why phronesis belongs to the way of opinions, as well as to justify Parmenides’ influence on the thought of Aristotle, culminating in the latter’s distinction between episteme and phronesis.

The aim of the article is to show that 'epimeleia heautou' (the care of the self) - one of the key issues of ancient Greek philosophy - can be found in a tradition which is older than the Socratic one. First, the author outlines modern paradigmatic interpretations of the history of philosophy (Platonic and Aristotelian) and tries to offer an alternative interpretation based on Hellenistic tradition influenced by Socrates. Then he explores the texts of archaic lyrics - the elegies of Theognis of Megara. Resulting from the analysis of the problem of Theognis' seal, and the parallels between Theognis and archaic lawgivers is the author's conviction, that the Theognidean poetry as a whole represents a coherent socio-political discourse based on the care of the 'polis'. In conclusion the author traces three basic Socratic issues in Theognidean poetry: political action, pedagogy, and love between a men and a boy.
