| Description: |
Explains how the "Cratylus", Plato's meandering and comical dialogue on the correctness of names, makes philosophical progress by its etymological digressions. While still a ride through a Heraclitean flood of etymologies which threatens to swamp language altogether, the "Cratylus" emerges as an organized evaluation of the power of words. |
| Synopsis: |
This book explains how the Cratylus, Plato's apparently meandering and comical dialogue on the correctness of names, makes serious philosophical progress by its notorious etymological digressions. While still a wild ride through a Heraclitean flood of etymologies which threatens to swamp language altogether, the Cratylus emerges as an astonishingly organized evaluation of the power of words. |
