Philosopher Kocijancic Is Delo's Person of 2004
Slovenia's leading daily Delo has honoured Gorazd Kocijancic, a philosopher, writer and translator, with its Person of the Year Award, conferred for outstanding achievements outside of the media spotlight.
According to Delo's board of editors, it was your work and personality that left the strongest mark on the domestic scene in the year 2004. Apart from receiving the Rozanc Award for best collection of essays, you translated selected works of Plato into Slovenian last year, the achievement for which you were honoured by Delo.
The translation, which represents around a third of Plato's oeuvre, was published in two volumes by the Celje-based Mohorjeva druzba in what was dubbed the "project of the decade". The work has been translated into Slovenian before. In my writing I focuss on philosophy of the Antiquity, Mediaeval philosophy and theology, while my work in translation is dedicated to works of Ancient Greek and Latin texts.
How do you understand philosophy?
In the original sense of the word as love of wisdom.
