Sections in this chapter8
- Plato, Sophist, translated by Benjamin Jowett. Read the dialogue separately from the translator's introduction; 251d–264b contains the central argument discussed here.
- Within the Sophist, compare 254b–259e on the selected kinds with 261d–264b on statements. Following both stretches keeps the metaphysical and linguistic questions connected.
- Plato, Theaetetus, especially 187d–200d, for another sustained discussion of false judgment.
- Plato, Statesman, for a related investigation that continues the practice of division and tests its use in defining expertise.
