Abstract
I WOULD NOW LIKE quickly to touch on the problem of what could be called the deterioration of parrēsia, or the deterioration of the relations between parrēsia and democracy. To present things a bit schematically and to understand this process, we could speak, if you like, of a sort of constitutive rectangle of parrēsia.
The rectangle of parrēsia: formal condition, de facto condition truth condition, and moral condition.∽Example of the correct functioning of democratic parrēsia in Thucydides: three discourses of Pericles.∽ Bad parrēsia in Isocrates.
