abstract:
According to Michael Frede's interpretation, the notion of lekton was developed in the context of the Stoic
theory of causality, and conceived as a metaphysical entity. The author of the book challenges this developmental
explanation, upholding the linguistic origin of the notion of lekton, that would have been always conceived
by the Stoics as a purely semantic entity - that is, as the incorporeal meaning of a corporeal linguistic voice.
