Publisher's Synopsis
This question preoccupied the thoughts of many early Greek philosophers, not least Plato, who discussed it at length in the "Cratylus", the "Euthydemus", the "Theaetus" and the "Sophist".;Nicholas Denyer's book places the problem of language, thought, and falsehood in the historical context of Plato and his contemporaries, and expounds the solution which Plato finally reached in the "Sophist".;Its freedom from untranslated Greek, style, and its approach in bringing together all ancient material on falsehood in this way aim to make "Language, Thought and Falsehood in Ancient Greek Philosophy" accessible to all those studying Ancient Greek philosophy, as well as to philosophers generally.
