Platons Dialog Kratylos thematisiert eine der Grundfragen philosophischer Semantik: Wie erlangen die Ausdrücke unserer Sprache ihre spezifischen Bedeutungen? Platon diskutiert zwei mögliche Antworten: Entweder sprachliche Ausdrücke gewinnen ihre Bedeutung durch soziale Übereinkunft (Bedeutungskonventionalismus) oder durch eine 'natürliche' Beziehung (Bedeutungsnaturalismus) zu ihren Trägergegenständen. Die vorliegende Studie unternimmt den Versuch, Platons Überlegungen zum Begriff der Bedeutung als eine kohärente Theorie zu deuten, die beide Positionen inkorporiert. Es werden die zeitgenössischen semantischen Ansätze Putnams und Grice’ eingeführt und interpretatorisch auf den platonischen Dialog angewendet. Im Zuge der Untersuchung werden die epistemologischen Bezüge von Platons Semantik aufgezeigt und eine innovative Lesart der platonischen Position generell vorgeschlagen. So wird gezeigt, dass Platon in der Geschichte der Sprachphilosophie bisher zu Unrecht vernachlässigt worden ist.

The book addresses the questions how literature can convey knowledge and how literary meaning can arise in the face of the fact that fictional texts waive the usual claim to truth. Based on the interdisciplinary cooperation of literary scholars and analytic philosophers, the present anthology attempts a) to analyze the possibility and conditions of gaining know - ledge through literature, and b) to apply, in a fruitful way, philosophical theories of meaning and interpretation to the constitution of meaning within the language of literature. The project is guided by the hypothesis that the cognitive function of literature cannot be understood without such fundamental modelings of the complex interaction of meaning, truth and knowledge.
