Summary |
The Cratylus contains Plato's important, yet ambiguous discussion of language. This book explores the various views on language and its relation to philosophy in the Platonic tradition by examining the reception of Plato's Cratylus in antiquity in general, and the commentary of the Neoplatonist Proclus in particular. |
