BOERI, Marcelo D.. On What Is Apparent and Real: A Reply to Néstor L. Cordero and Jorge Mittelmann. Diánoia [online]. 2009, vol.54, n.63, pp.223-233. ISSN 0185-2450.

This is the reply to Cordero's and Mittelmann's objections to my book Apariencia y realidad en el pensamiento griego. In my main reply to Cordero I show that, even in the Sophist, where the propositional aspect of knowledge is mostly emphasized, Plato himself suggests the idea of knowledge in the dispositionsal sense. I reply to Mittelmann's objections that (i), even though Aristotle does not use the word "criterion", this does not mean that he lacks the concept. In my reply to objection (ii) I suggest that, as is pointed out by the Aristotelian text on which my thesis is based (De insom-niis 460b3-4), Aristotle is not considering the perception of proper sensibles, which is free of error or admits the least possible amount of error (De anima 428b18-19), but the perception in its transensorial sense.

Keywords : Plato; Aristotle; knowledge; error.
