Эленхос и небытие в диалоге «Софист»
С. 332–348.
The description of the elenctic method in the Sophist (230a–e) is often believed to be merely retrospective. However, some parallels with Aristotle’s Sophistical refutations suggest that the dialogue as a whole has a clear elenctic dimension. Having faced an apparent refutation (falsehood paradox), the interlocutors find themselves in an impasse. According to Aristotle, to solve such aporiai one must eliminate ambiguity and homonymy by making distinctions, i.e. recur to the diairesis. The same tactics is applied by the Stranger and Theaetetus.

This article proposes a novel interpretation of a difficult passage in the famous Digression in the Theaetetus (175e). The disputed expression ἀναβάλλεσθαι ἐπιδέξια is traditionally understood either as “to wear one’s coat as a gentleman” (McDowell) or as “to strike up an elegant tune like a free man” (Rowe). However, these readings are problematic both ...

Plato's cave is one of the most striking and discussed metaphors not only in Plato's philosophy but in philosophy as a whole. However, the image of the cave as a place associated with the acquisition of new knowledge and the affirmation of one's own opinion appears in Sophocles' Philoctetes, that is, somewhat earlier than in ...

In Aristotle's definition of tragedy in Poetics, where catharsis suddenly appears without any preparation, every word, preposition, and semantics of the case are commented on with such attention and detail as, perhaps, only the expressions, cases, and letters of the Holy Scriptures. In 1975, A. F. Losev estimated the number of interpretations of catharsis by ...

The article examines the counterarguments of Cardinal Bessarion (1403-1472) in response to accusations of the immorality of Platonism made by the scholar George of Trebizond. George's sharply polemical treatise “Comparatio philosophorum Aristotelis et Platonis”, written in 1458, was at that time the most expressive and defiant attack on the Renaissance Neoplatonists. Honoring Plato as a ...

Despite the criticism, the standard chronology of Plato’s works continues to hold sway not only over “developmentalists”, but also over various types of “unitarians”. The authority of the standard chronology rests on the confidence that the division of the dialogues into three groups has been “proven” with quantitative methods. In addition to the general theoretical ...

the problematics of semantics as discussed by the sophists, in particular the notions of
correct speech, the proper meanings of words, synonymy and homonymy. Aristotle notes
that the main device of ...
