Diala, the Enigmatic Short story

Abstract

This fictional narrative symbolically recreates the emergence of dialectical thought. Through its protagonist, Diala, a Greek priestess renowned for her paradoxical aphorisms, the text offers reflections on transformation, the tensions between opposites, and the understanding of the human being. The story incorporates ideas drawn from thinkers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, combining fiction, philosophical outreach, and allegorical storytelling to introduce classical concepts of Western thought to a non-specialist audience. Its inclusion in Escritos reflects the journal’s interest in welcoming works of literary creation that engage in dialogue with the philosophical and humanistic tradition from a narrative perspective.
