Oudeneia parresia and, according to Philo of Alexandria.
Oudeneia is greek word to indicate invalidity. Said it would seem to postpone a "worlds" with a negative value, to an absence. Value when applied to humans acquire even offensive. And like all things apparent - that irritate the incapable and suspicious, in their immediate meaning, the result of instinct rather than will - in minds prone to meditation, arouse interest and wonder, even bigger when the meaning is revealed as the discovery of 'soul, as achievement of a truth which gives support to the wonder.
parresia is another greek word that means freedom of speech. Freedom is not the right to be able to superimpose his own word to that of another, even wanting to, but it's ability to tell the truth, which comes from the renunciation of the word, while he listened to the word soul, the tendency to knowledge, and finally to wisdom.
parresia and oudeneia are faculties of the soul. Soul for the presence of self, and soul are addressed with real words. Out of self and appearance. And the appearance does not belong to wisdom, but of one who is Ouden soul, the soul of one who has never met, no one has ever heard, and this has never been able to consult with the truth. Simulated a semblance of existence, the faculty dialectic. But there are transcendental and dialectical, not related to the encounter with the Earth: embrace the universe, and belong to the embrace of man by God
Freedom of speech and respect for God are born in Abraham from the awareness of its oudeneia
22 But look again, as the daring mixes with deference. Words: "What will you give me?" (Gen. 15, 2) show the boldness, the word "Lord", deference. Scripture sole use mainly two epithets to describe one who is due to God and Lord. Now, however, does not use neither the one nor the other, but the term "Master" in a much more respectful and far more relevant. Certainly Lord and Master are considered synonymous. 23 But if the subject to which it relates is one and the same, the two epithets, however, differ in their meaning "Lord" (Kyrios), derives from the force (Kyros), namely that which is secure, and is opposed, however, to what is unstable and weak. "Master" (despotes), derived from "link" (Desmos), from which I feel should be also derive the word "fear" (DEOS).
