We will read closely and discuss two of Plato�s most important late dialogues, Theaetetus, and Sophist, and refer briefly to other dialogues as we go along. We will, of course, focus on what these dialogues tell us about logic and language, but this focus will not prevent us from treating the dialogues; magnificent themes, what is true, what is good, what is beautiful. On the contrary, our focus on logic and language will open the path to consideration of precisely these things.
