Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The philosophical dialogue delves into the essence of language and its connection to reality through a debate between Socrates, Cratylus, and Hermogenes. Cratylus posits that names inherently relate to their objects, while Hermogenes argues for the arbitrary nature of naming conventions. Plato probes whether language is merely a social construct or if it has a deeper significance. The text invites readers to contemplate the influence of language on truth and knowledge, exploring the intricate dynamics between words and their meanings.
