Новая количественная модель Платоновского корпуса 2. Филогенетические методы в стилометрии
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 objections already expressed in the literature, in this article we intend to put forward a stylometric argument against stylometry as a method of dating the dialogues. The novelty of our approach is achieved, firstly, by including in the corpus the dialogues from the Appendix Platonica, which were usually ignored in previous quantitative studies. Secondly, we are using the latest phylogenetic methods, which allow us to test the stability of the clusters identified by hierarchical clustering.
