Beschreibung

<p>In the diptych <i>Sophist-Statesman</i>, Plato's interest in the potential of language both to disclose and to deceive goes hand in hand with the employment of the so-called Method of Collection and Division. This book deals with this mutual interdependence, which has never been comprehensively analyzed in scholarly literature so far. By focusing on language, we gain a deeper insight into the quite puzzling way in which Plato wants the interlocutors to inquire into the sophist and statesman. The <i>Sophist</i> and <i>Statesman</i> pursue one single project, which is to provide an answer to Socrates, who, in the prologue of the <i>Sophist</i>, asks whether the sophist, the statesman, and the philosopher are just as many as the corresponding names are.</p>
