Conclusion -- $tBibliography -- $tIndex 330 $aA close analysis of the Republic's diverse literary styles shows how the peculiarities of verbal texture in Platonic discourse can be explained by Plato's remolding of tropes and techniques from poetry and the Presocratics. This book argues that Plato smuggles poetic language into the Republic's prose in order to characterize the deceitful coloration and polymorphy that accompanies the world of Becoming as opposed to the Real. Plato's distinctive discourse thus can transmit, even to those figures focused on the visual within his Republic, the shiftiness of the base and the unjust. 410 0$aSozomena (Berlin, Germany) ;$vv. 9. 606 $aPHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Ancient & Classical$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aPHILOSOPHY / History & Surveys / Ancient & Classical. 676 $a321/.07 700 $aPetraki$b Zacharoula A$0476552 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461166403321 996 $aThe poetics of philosophical language$92451498 997 $aUNINA
