Abstract

Nowadays, in China, the research of Plato’s language philosophy leaves a blank. Although Plato’s language philosophy has been spread to China for a long time, scholars have translated many books of Plato and written books analyzing it. There are still limited scholars learning this subject, and few essays can be found on an academic website. Specifically, in CNKI, the number of articles on Plato’s language philosophy was just one essay this year, and the highest amount was 4 in 2020. So, this article should firstly give a brief review of Plato’s language philosophy, which are the theory of reference of names, the statement, and its nature, and the relationship between language and reality, and it aims to find out solutions of spreading Plato’s language philosophy in China by adding some traditional and new-age Chinese philosophy elements into it, such as, Taoists and Marx and putting some properties of Plato’s language philosophy into conventional Chinese philosophy, for example, the theory of name correction, for interpreting it and giving it more meanings. In this way, it is helpful to spread the language philosophy of Plato, encourage some research of it, and enrich the contents.
