Pseudo-Plato on Names
The pseudo-Platonic Definitions seems to ascribe to ὄνομα, ‘name’, the function of signifying two kinds of predicate. This is problematic, and I propose an emendation of the text, arguing that a definition of ῥῆμα, ‘verb’, has fallen out
Names, Verbs, and Sentences in Ancient Greek Philosophy
My purpose in this paper is to investigate some ancient conceptions of the composition and structure of sentences, focusing on Plato and Aristotle, with short forays into other authors and ages. I concern myself mainly with two mutually connected issues. First, both Plato and Aristotle hold that a minimal simple sentence consists of two expressions of different kinds, which they call onoma and rhema; I shall try to make clear the nature and purpo…
Cratylus 393b–c and the Prehistory of Plato's Text
We start from a passage in Plato's Cratylus , 393b7–c7. For reasons which will become clear in due course, I give Burnet's text (with the addition of underlinings and apparatus of my own), which differs from that of the more recent OCT edition on an important detail
The Platonic Origins Of Stoic Theology
This article investigates what the Stoic doctrine of the two principles, God and matter, owes to Plato. It engages with recent scholarly views to the effect that the Stoics were influenced by Old Academic interpretations of the Timaeus and argues that, although the Timaeus probably did play a role in the genesis of the Stoic doctrine, some role was also played by a dualist theory of flux set forth in the etymologies of the Cratylus. It also discu…
Naturalism illustrated
With Socrates' analysis of the names in the Atreidae genealogy, from Orestes up to Uranus (394e–396c), the etymologies have begun. The very long section of the dialogue which is devoted to them extends as far as 427d (thus covering 46 pages out of 85 occupied by the whole OCT Cratylus ) and contains analyses of a great many words, interspersed with moments of theoretical reflection. As I have already anticipated time and again, in Cra . we meet t…
The Cratylus of Plato
The Cratylus, one of Plato's most difficult and intriguing dialogues, explores the relations between a name and the thing it names. The questions that arise lead the characters to face a number of major issues: truth and falsehood, relativism, etymology, the possibility of a perfect language, the relation between the investigation of names and that of reality, the Heraclitean flux theory and the Theory of Forms. This full-scale commentary on the …
