Descrizione del libro

At the heart of G. E. L. Owen's work has been a preoccupation with the role of philosophical reflection on language in the metaphysics and epistemology of Plato, Aristotle and other ancient Greek thinkers. Written to celebrate the sixtieth birthday of G. E. L. Owen, this is a book for specialists in Greek philosophy and philosophers of language which will also be of interest to some linguists.
