Description
Although it does not generally preoccupy modern philosophers, the problem of falsehood loomed large early in the development of Greek philosophy and exercised many fine minds, not least that of Plato. "Language, Thought and Falsehood in Ancient Greek Philosophy" sets forth the assumptions about thought and language that made falsehood seem so problematic to Plato and his contemporaries. As both a classicist and a philosopher, the author is well placed to answer these questions, and his style remains free from untranslated Greek. As a well documented case study of a definitive advance in logic, metaphysics, and epistemology, it will also appeal to philosophers generally.
