(4.07) | None | Plato's Theaetetus and Sophist are two of his most important dialogues, and are widely read and discussed by philosophers for what they reveal about his epistemology and particularly his accounts of belief and knowledge. Although they form part of a single Platonic project, these dialogues are not usually presented as a pair, as they are in Christopher Rowe's new and lively translation. Offering a high standard of accuracy and readability, the translation reveals the continuity between these dialogues and others in the Platonic corpus, especially the Republic. The supporting introduction and notes help the reader to follow the arguments as they develop, explaining their structure, context and interpretation. This new edition challenges current scholarly approaches to Plato's work and will pave the way for fresh interpretations both of Theaetetus and Sophist and of Plato's writings in general.… (more) |

First words |
Introduction: Since the commentary aims at furnishing the reader with information as the need arises, it will be enough, by way of introduction, to indicate the place of the Theaetetus and the Sophist in the series of Plato's dialogues, and to define briefly the position from which the inquiry starts. | |

Last words |
The Sophist: Str. The Art of contradiction-making, descended from an insincere kind of conceited mimicry, of the semblance-making breed, derived from image-making, distinguished as a portion, not divine but human, of production, that presents a shadow-play of words--such is the blood and lineage which can, with perfect truth, be assigned t the authentic Sophist, Theaet. I entirely agree. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) | |
