This essay is intended to provide a wide-ranging reconstruction of the history of the concept of parrhesia in relation to its political implications. Moving from Michel Foucault’s reading of the concept, the paper gives a succinct overview of its use in classical Greece and in biblical texts, in order to emphasize the internal dialectic which has always riven the relationship between parrhesia and democracy and is at its most intense in the modern era, with its separation of of external and internal fora.
