Exploring the complex relationship between language and knowledge, this reappraisal of Plato's Cratylus emphasizes the significance of its extensive etymologies, arguing that they are essential to understanding Plato's linguistic philosophy. Professor Sedley presents the dialogue in a way that is accessible to readers unfamiliar with Greek, making the work relevant for both Plato scholars and those interested in the evolution of linguistic thought. The analysis promises to reshape perceptions of the dialogue's content and its philosophical implications.
