Ontological-political approach to the problem of being in ancient philosophy

The main research question of this thesis is whether it is possible to study the problem(s) of being in Ancient Greek Philosophy in an Ontological-political way. In order to discuss the issues of being, thesis defends the need of a unique framework about being and constructs Ontopolitics in general, and Ontological-Politics in particular. Briefly, Ontopolitics defends that being is political: Every thing exists by being within power relations and ontology, in this sense, refers to a web of power relations. Ontological-Politics is an Ontopolitical discipline that focuses on the fundamental power relations of things. Thesis also provides a framework about Politics in order to show the relation between Being and Politics. Then, thesis attempts to construct a method of analysis of history of philosophy and applies this method to the Ancient Greek Philosophy. Simply, method suggests that by revealing the power relations of things and methodically accepting the ontology of the unit(s) of analysis, it may be possible to recreate the existential, fundamental, experience of the unit, namely Ancient Greece. Then, thesis analyzes the issue of being by investigating particular strategies, power relations, which philosophers and their ontology are/were within.
