Resumen:
At the end of the passage in Platoss Sophist which is dedicated to the analysis of
the combination between the great kinds emerges the thesis according to which the not-being
must be firmly established as something that is not, and like every idea, as something which
has its own nature. This may be the main result of the investigation that was meant to examine
the problems of the Parmenidean dictum, expressed in the only possible way that fragment 2
of the Poem declares viable, the one which consists in that being is and not-being is not (fr. 2,
3). This same way Parmenides Way of Truth in the Poem had also been judged in the
dialogue from 241d7 clearly as paradoxically not viable since Parmenides theory did not
allow to explain one of our most elementary comprehensive abilities, the one that allows us to
operate with the negation and to admit the possibility of the falsehood. Platos idea is that if
not-being were not accepted, the falsehood would not be possible (237a3-4; 241a9-b3).
The postulation of the idea of not-being as a necessary condition to justify some of our
basic linguistic practices as well as the use of negative predicates and the meaning of false
statements constitutes, therefore, a first relevant topic of the Sophist. A second one, on which
I will also focus on this paper, is an ontological one. It lies namely in the formulation of some
metaphysical central tools which introduce clearly anti-Eleatic features in our ontology. The
main metaphysical tool of Platoss Sophist consists in accepting not-being in the only
admissible sense of it, that is to say, as difference (255b3-4, c8-10, d1), and rejecting the
ontological monism that Plato considers directly associated with an erroneous semantic that,
finally, does not account for predication and in which there only exist names which, would
apparently name the only reality of its correlate.
