Abstract
Parrhēsia as ethical attitude and technical procedure in the master’s discourse. ~ The adversaries of parrhēsia: flattery and rhetoric. ~ The importance of the themes of flattery and anger in the new system of power. ~ An example: the preface to the fourth book of Seneca’s Natural Questions (exercise of power, relationship to oneself, dangers of flattery). ~ The Prince’s fragile wisdom. ~ The points of opposition between parrhēsia and rhetoric: the division between truth and lie; the status of technique; the effects of subjectivation. ~ Positive conceptualization of parrhēsia: the Peri parrhēsias of Philodemus.
