LA CONCEPCIÓN PLATÓNICA DE LA VERDAD ONTOLÓGICA EN LA REPÚBLICA A LA LUZ DE LA VERDAD PREDICATIVA DEL SOFISTA.

This paper aims at reconstructing the ontological conception of truth in Republic v-vi in the light of the predicative conceptualization of truth developed in the Sophist. My interpretative hypothesis is that in both dialogues Plato distinguishes truth from its conditions of possibility, in particular, its ontological basis. I will try to show that the ontological and the predicative conceptions of truth in the platonic thought are incompatible, due to their different ontological bases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
