Plato's Cratylus is a brilliant but enigmatic dialogue. It bears on
a topic, the relation of language to knowledge, which has never
ceased to be of central philosophical importance, but tackles it in
ways which at times look alien to us. In this reappraisal of the
dialogue, Professor Sedley argues that the etymologies which take
up well over half of it are not an embarrassing lapse or
semi-private joke on Plato's part. On the contrary, if taken
seriously as they should be, they are the key to understanding both
the dialogue itself and Plato's linguistic philosophy more broadly.
The book's main argument is so formulated as to be intelligible to
readers with no knowledge of Greek, and will have a significant
impact both on the study of Plato and on the history of linguistic
thought.
