Resumo: This paper aims to expound and analyze the argument about the structure of logos, on which the theory of “predicative logic” developed in Plato”s Sophist (261d-264b) is based. By distinguishing “truth” from “falsity” as “qualities” of statements, the argument enables thought and language to function as means suited to the description and study of reality. The reading of “difference” as “incompatibility” explains why “Theatetus is flying” is a false statement; but neither the example nor this reading can be taken as a definition of what a false statement is.

Ao distinguir “verdade” de “falsidade” como “qualidades” dos enunciados, “pensamento” e “linguagem” são habilitados a funcionar como meios apropriados à descrição e estudo da realidade. A leitura da diferença como “incompatibilidade” é elucidativa do exemplo “Teeteto está a voar”; mas o exemplo e esta leitura não procuram alcançar uma definição do “enunciado falso”.Revista HypnosHypnos Journal2022-10-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/656Revista Hypnos; n. 49 (2022); 95-106Hypnos Journal; No. 49 (2022); 95-1062177-53461413-9138reponame:Hypnosinstname:Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)instacron:FSBporhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/656/633Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Hypnoshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTrindade Santos, José Gabriel2022-10-29T01:08:30Zoai:ojs.hypnos.org.br:article/656Revistahttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnosPRIhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/oairachelgazolla@gmail.com2177-53461413-9138opendoar:2023-01-13T09:47:11.286003Hypnos - Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)false
