(Working) Outline - Paper on Meaning

• Thesis: In this exploration of both Plato’s and Aristotle’s views on language and meaning I will show how Aristotle provides a progression from Plato’s views in alteration of Forms, placement of meaning, and THIS WAY. By mapping out Plato’s view (in the Sophist and Cratylus) and then working through Aristotle’s (in the De Interpretatione and De Anime) it will be apparent the differences and how it is a progression and improvement, although in not everyway.
