• What Is an “Ideological Emendation” (Really)? Taurus T27 and Middle Platonist Philologia Philosophica Petrucci, Federico M. 2018 MĂ©thexis , Vol. 30 , Issue 1 , S. 128 ff. ( Zeitschrift ) Englisch 0327-0289 | 2468-0974 Abstract

    The aim of this paper is to deeply rethink the traditional notion of “ideological emendation”. By taking Taurus T27 as a test-case, I shall emphasise that Taurus’ intervention on Timaeus 27c5 is the result of a conjecture, and that such an emendation meets the requirements for a philological conjecture on Plato’s text. Indeed, Taurus’ fragment, which is usually taken as a typical example of “ideological emendation”, only reflects an effort to recover what Plato actually wrote, and is nothing but a textual emendation. Accordingly, the ideological core of such an emendation is what must lie at the basis of any conjecture, that is an attempt to re-establish (what is assumed to be) Plato’s text in accordance with his consistent doctrine.
