Do words shape reality—or merely describe it?
In Cratylus, Plato dives into one of philosophy’s most intriguing questions: the true nature of language. Through a lively dialogue featuring Socrates, Cratylus, and Hermogenes, this work explores whether names are naturally connected to the things they represent—or simply human conventions.
Blending wit, logic, and linguistic curiosity, Plato challenges readers to rethink how language influences thought, meaning, and truth itself. The discussion moves from playful word analysis to deep philosophical inquiry, making Cratylus both entertaining and intellectually stimulating.
Ideal for readers interested in philosophy, linguistics, and the power of language, this classic offers:
A fascinating exploration of names, meaning, and reality Insight into early theories of language and communication Engaging Socratic dialogue filled with humor and depth A foundational text influencing philosophy and linguistics
Thought-provoking and surprisingly modern, Cratylus invites you to question something you use every day—words.
Are names just labels—or do they hold the essence of truth?
