[EAN: 9780521584920], Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [SC: 10.39], [PU: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press], XI, 190 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Overall very good and clean. - Plato’s Cratylus is a brilliant but enigmatic dialogue. It bears on a topic, the relation of language to knowledge, which has never ceased to be of central philosophical importance, but tackles it in ways which at times look alien to us. In this radical reappraisal of the dialogue, Professor Sedley argues that the etymologies which take up well over half of it are not an embarrassing lapse or semi-private joke on Plato’s part. On the contrary, if taken seriously as they should be, they are the key to understanding both the dialogue itself and Plato’s linguistic philosophy more broadly. The book’s main argument is so formulated as to be intelligible to readers with no knowledge of Greek, and will have a significant impact both on the study of Plato and on the history of linguistic thought. - David Sedley is Laurence Professor of Ancient Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. His work has ranged over most periods and subject areas of Greek and Roman philosophy, including a number of editions of philosophical texts preserved on papyrus. He has been a visiting professor at Princeton, Berkeley, Yale and Cornell, and in 2004 will be the Sather Professor at Berkeley. He is the author of Lucretius and the Transformation of Greek Wisdom (Cambridge 1998) and (with A. A. Long) The Hellenistic Philosophers (Cambridge 1987), as well as editor of The Cambridge Companion to Greek and Roman Philosophy (Cambridge 2003). He has been editor of Classical Quarterly (1986—92) and, since 1998, of Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. ISBN 9780521584920 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 473, Books<
