56Atomism's Eleatic rootsIn Patricia Curd & Daniel W. Graham (eds.), The Oxford Handbook of Presocratic Philosophy, Oxford University Press. 2008.Presocratic atomism was one of the most influential of the early theories: both Plato and Aristotle thought of it as a major competing theory, and it was an important source for post-Aristotelian Hellenistic theories.

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 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 un…Read more

386An Introduction to Plato's Theory of FormsRoyal Institute of Philosophy Supplement 78 3-22. 2016.This lecture was designed as an introduction to Plato's theory of Forms.

Other aspects d…Read more
