Abstract

Starting from some considerations on the relationship between the Classics and the problems of our modern world, that is at the center of the project "Classici contro", this paper examines the distinctive traits and pragmatic situation of parrhesia, i.e. freedom of speech, in the first texts in which it appears. Parrhesia is regularly connected with citizens' freedom and is always in opposition to tyranny. It is not an easy task and involves risks. It is not only a right but a duty for the life of the polis and democracy.
