The expression «second navigation» (Plato) is often used to label speculative knowledge. On the basis of this metaphorical analogy one might create an original discourse of the history of ancient philosophy. In this case, the identification crises of this civilization become the ground of periodization, and a new philosophical reflection is treated as a means of overcoming them at each stage. This reflection becomes the basis of the concepts of identity for Pre-Socratics, Plato, Aristotle, Stoics and Neo-Platonists.
Keywords: «the second navigation», agonality, an identity crisis, identity, Self, identity, speculation, cosmos, anti-cosmologism, Weltwende (fracture of the ages).
