Acknowledgements
This book brings together (also) a selection of the papers presented at an international Conference held in Alghero (Sardinia, Italy) in September 2019, dedicated to the various issues and themes of Plato’s Theaetetus. The conference was organized as part of a research project led by me (Diego Zucca, University of Sassari) on the ancient models of mind and the ontology of the soul-body relation.
I would like to thank the Regione Sardegna, who financially supported the project of which this publication is the last outcome. I would also like to thank the University of Sassari – in particular: the Department of Storia, scienze dell’uomo e della formazione – for its support, as well as the Department of Architecture for hosting the conference in its wonderful setting by the sea.
I am very grateful to Dr Roberto Medda and Dr Gabriele Meloni, who played an important role in organizing the conference together with me and in making everything come together so smoothly.
A special thank you to Professor Franco Trabattoni, who fully supported the project of this publication, and to Professor Gabriele Cornelli, who kindly accepted and encouraged it as an Editor of the prestigious Brill’s Plato Studies Series.
Finally, my most profound thanks go to the contributors of this book for their valuable work: with the generous contribution of such great scholars, this book may hopefully become a point of reference for future research in the field.
