The Cratylus of Plato - A Commentary (Paperback)

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, etymology,
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 full-scale commentary on the
Cratylus 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, in both philosophy and classics, but presupposes no
previous acquaintance with the subject and is accessible to
undergraduates.
