 "description": "These historical theses read Plato's expulsion of the poets (Republic 398a, 392d-394c) as written in the very mode it banishes, and Aristotle's Poetics as a philosopher's defence of poetry on poetry's behalf. Measures from the authorship investigation hold that Socrates is the one individual Aristotle will not make a variable, at the snub-nosed face, and that the Theaetetus and the Sophistical Refutations both close on what individuates Socrates. Socrates as Orthonym, The Chaerephon Problem, Beautiful and New and The First Draft read the Socratic archive as a heteronymic field and the biography of Aristotle as a repetition of Socrates', with unbuilt seam tests.",
