Words & Ideas offers a study of Plato's philosophical language against this cultural background, retracing to their origins the history and development ..."

in the Republic.2 I would not go so far. I think that it is possible to find traces of
collection and division ..."

range than the English ones.1 For example, ..."

Plato is, paradoxically, both the philosopher who cites, or alludes to, works of poetry more than any other, and the one who is at the same time the harshest critic of poetry. The nineteen essays presented here aim to offer various avenues to this paradox, and to illuminate the ways poetry and the poets are discussed by Plato throughout his wr ..."
