About: Endoxa

An Entity of Type: WikicatConceptsInEpistemology, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Endoxa (Greek: ἔνδοξα) is the plural of endoxon, deriving from the word doxa (δόξα, meaning "Belief", "opinion"). Plato referred to doxa as the level of apprehension attained when a mind's activity is directed to ta onta or "things" and that the process is independent of perception. Whereas Plato condemned doxa as a starting point from which to attain truth, Aristotle used the term endoxa – in the sense of "commonplace", "everyday", "consensus" – to identify a group or population's beliefs that had previously withstood debate and argument (and were, thereby, more stable than doxa).

  • Endoxa (Greek: ἔνδοξα) is the plural of endoxon, deriving from the word doxa (δόξα, meaning "Belief", "opinion"). Plato referred to doxa as the level of apprehension attained when a mind's activity is directed to ta onta or "things" and that the process is independent of perception. Whereas Plato condemned doxa as a starting point from which to attain truth, Aristotle used the term endoxa – in the sense of "commonplace", "everyday", "consensus" – to identify a group or population's beliefs that had previously withstood debate and argument (and were, thereby, more stable than doxa). In Aristotle's conceptualization, endoxa are opinions that one can agree with after a careful examination of arguments both for and against it, with the former emerging stronger. In the philosopher's explanation of the term in Topics I.1, endoxa was described as having five types: 1) the views of everyone; 2) the views of the preponderant majority; 3) the views of the recognized experts; 4) the views of all the experts; and, 5) the views of the most famous. It is said that endoxa may be plausible but this does not mean that they are true. Aside from those found in the Topics of the Organon, examples of Aristotle's use of endoxa may also be found in his Rhetoric. Otfried Höffe, translated by Christine Salazar, offers a detailed discussion of the topic in "Aristotle" (2003; pp. 35–42). (en)
  • Endoxa (Grieks: ἔνδοξα) (meervoud van endoxon) is de naam die Aristoteles gaf aan de opvattingen die in een bepaalde subcultuur worden geaccepteerd. (nl)
  • Endoxa (ἔνδοξα) é uma palavra grega que deriva da também grega doxa (δόξα). Enquanto Platão condenou a doxa (crenças e opiniões) como um ponto de partida para alcançar a verdade, Aristóteles utilizou o termo endoxa (crenças comumente sustentadas aceitas pelos sábios e pelos mais antigos e influentes retores) para reconhecimento das crenças da cidade. Endoxa é uma crença mais estável do que “doxa”, porque ela tem sido “testada” nos debates da polis por algum debatedor. A utilização do termo endoxa pelo estagirita pode ser encontrada nas suas obras “Tópica” e “Retórica”. Aristóteles define a endoxa como as opiniões que são aceitas por todos, pela maioria ou pelos sábios, isto é, por todos, ou pela maioria, ou pela maioria dos mais respeitáveis entre eles. (pt)
  • Endoxa (grekiska: ἔνδοξα) härrör från ordet doxa (δόξα). Aristoteles använde termen endoxa, allmänna övertygelser accepterade av kunskapseliten i samhället, som utgångspunkt för att uppnå sanning. Endoxa är en stabilare tro än doxa, eftersom den har utvärderats av de vise. Otfried Höffe erbjuder en detaljerad diskussion av ämnet i Aristoteles (2003, s. 35-42). (sv)
