HERMOGENES: I should explain to you, Socrates, that our friend Cratylus has been arguing about names; he says that they are natural and not conventional; not a portion of the human voice which men agree to use; but that there is a truth or correctness in them, which is the same for Hellenes as for barbarians. Whereupon I ask him, whether his own name of Cratylus is a true name or not, and he answers 'Yes.'
In the days before psychiatric drugs, Plato's friends Cratylus and Hermogenes become enmeshed in another one of his manic episodes. A 50- page introduction illuminates the internal dynamic of this important text and explains its place within Plato's oeuvre. This is the first translation since 1926 of Plato's only dialogue devoted to the relation between language and reality. For those interested in philosophy, cultural history, and history of linguistics. Paper edition (unseen), $12.95. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
