Description

Cratylus, a philosophical dialogue by Plato, explores the nature of language and its relationship to reality. Written in the 4th century BC, this work is part of a broader body of thought that examines the foundations of knowledge and understanding.

The dialogue delves into the question of whether words have an objective meaning or if they are merely arbitrary signs. Through a series of conversations between Plato's characters, Cratylus presents various theories on the nature of language and reality, raising fundamental questions about the nature of truth and knowledge.

First published in 2007, this edition features a translation by H.N. Fowler, making it an accessible introduction to one of the most important works of ancient Greek philosophy.
