What is the nature of truth? Blake E. Hestir offers an
investigation into Plato's developing metaphysical views, and
examines Plato's conception of being, meaning, and truth in the
Sophist, as well as passages from several other later dialogues
including the Cratylus, Parmenides, and Theaetetus, where Plato
begins to focus more directly on semantics rather than only on
metaphysical and epistemological puzzles. Hestir's interpretation
challenges both classical and contemporary interpretations of
Plato's metaphysics and conception of truth, and highlights new
parallels between Plato and Aristotle, as well as clarifying issues
surrounding Plato's approach to semantics and thought. This book
will be of interest to scholars and students of ancient Greek
philosophy, metaphysics, contemporary truth theory, linguistics,
and philosophy of language.
