Editorial Reviews
Review
"...impressive monography...even those sceptical of whether Plato was ever a Platonist might find Sedley's double-dating of the Cratylus persuasive, and...somewhat liberating."
-A.D. Carpenter, Department of Philosophy, University of St. Andrews, Ancient Philosophy
Product Description
This book presents a global reintrepretation of the Cratylus, which bears on the relationship of language to knowledge, a topic that has never ceased to be of central philosophical importance. It is designed to be accessible to anyone interested either in Plato or in the history of linguistic thought. The main text does not presuppose prior expertise in Plato or knowledge of Greek; such scholarly aspects are confined to the footnotes.
