What if words aren’t just signs—but symbols of truth?

Cratylus by Plato is an early and enduring exploration of language, etymology, and the connection between names and reality. This modern translation brings clarity and life to the dialogue between Socrates, Cratylus, and Hermogenes as they debate the origins and accuracy of words. Is language merely a social convention, or does it reflect the essence of things?

What you'll discover inside:

• A Riveting Dialogue on Language and Truth – Socrates leads a spirited debate on the nature of names.

• The Origins of Linguistic Philosophy – Engage with Plato’s pioneering ideas on semantics and reality.

• A Modern, Accessible Translation – Readable and resonant for today’s listeners.

• Philosophy That Still Speaks Today – Timeless questions about communication, meaning, and perception.

Cratylus challenges us to look beyond the words we use—and ask what they truly reveal.
