The Cratylus, one of Plato's most difficult and intriguing
dialogues, explores the relations between a name and the thing it
names. The questions that arise lead the characters to face a
number of major issues: truth and falsehood, relativism, the
possibility of a perfect language, the relation between the
investigation of names and that of reality, the Heraclitean flux
theory and the Theory of Forms. This is the first full-scale
commentary on the Cratylus and offers a definitive interpretation
of the dialogue. It contains translations of the passages discussed
and a line-by-line analysis which deals with textual matters and
unravels Plato's dense and subtle arguments, reaching a novel
interpretation of some of the dialogue's main themes as well as of
many individual passages. The book is intended primarily for
graduate students and scholars, both philosophers and classicists,
but presupposes no previous acquaintance with the subject and is
accessible to undergraduates.
