Abstract
This paper explores way in which art of weaving, as it is initially presented in Plato's Statesman, serves to configure both fundamental character of discourse and limit experience of discourse for Plato. The problem that arises in relation to this configuration pertains to possible unity of discourse (and with it acquisition of knowledge). In relation to hermeneutics ofHans-Georg Gadamer and his reading of Plato, it is argued that unity of discourse follows the arithmos structure of logoswith its distinctive dialectical character. It is concluded that this character expresses finitude of knowing in which oppositions remain in tension.
