柏拉图语言哲学探析

On Plato's Philosophy of Language

柏拉图被公认为西方语言哲学的思想先驱。他在多篇对话中深入探讨了语言哲学的基本问题:如名称的指称问题、陈述的真假问题、语言和实在的关系问题等等。这些探讨对于后世语言哲学家的工作具有重要的启示和规范作用。

It is commonly acknowledged that Plato was one of the major pioneers of western philosophy of language. He inquired into the basic problems of the philosophy of language in many of his writings: the reference of names, the truth and falsity of statements, and the relation between language and reality, and so on. These inquiries have an important influence upon the work of his modern successors.
