Abstract

In Plato’s dialogue the Sophist, the subject of the image holds a central place. In fact, the sophist can be captured by the interlocutors in so far as this sophist – he him self a skilled image maker – is caught in one of the kinds of images. In order to do this, several spoken images are dealtwith in the dialogue. These images must be understood according to the dialogue’s own statements on the image. In this way, the outcome of the dialogue can be achieved only through its reflection on itselfin the realm of the image.
