Resumo

This interview with Sarah Kofman explores her philosophical interpretations of the Prometheus myth, focusing on his role as a "first philosopher" who steals fire (representing knowledge and technology) from the gods. Kofman discusses how Prometheus's act symbolizes the human desire for knowledge and the inherent dangers and responsibilities that come with it. She connects this myth to various philosophical concepts, including the nature of creation, the relationship between humans and gods, the origins of philosophy, and the ethical implications of technological advancement. Kofman also analyzes the figure of Epimetheus, Prometheus's brother, and his role in accepting Pandora and her box, further exploring the complexities of human existence and the consequences of choices.
