Abstract
FLOREZ, Jorge Alejandro. The language in the Greek thought. Prax. filos. [online]. 2009, n.29, pp.41-60. ISSN 0120-4688.
This paper looks panoramically at the diverse postures on language that were present in the Greek thought from presocratic thinkers to Aristotle. It is considered particularly Plato's postures; because his thought is the center that articulates the presocratic tendencies and the Aristotelian answers. It is mainly analyzed three issues: the origin of language, the relationship among language, ontology and epistemology; and finally, the utility of language.
Keywords : Philosophy of language; language; Plato; Cratilo; ontology.
