	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2003.03.35
		The topic of the Cratylus might initially seem remote from the concerns that many readers are likely to associate with Plato--the Republic 's search for an adequate definition of justice, or the epistemological investigations of the Theaetetus.
		She concentrates on philosophical argument, yet she does not overlook the literary aspects of Plato's dialogue (see, e.g., her discussion of the significance of the words propempsei de se kai Hermogenês hode at the dialogue's end, pp.
		About half the Cratylus is devoted to these etymologies, which have typically elicited scorn or amusement from modern critics.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.10.12
		Cratylus is Plato's comprehensive discussion of 'the correctness of names,' and one of his most elusive dialogues.
		In order to show evidence of the reflexive interplay between the earlier and the later stage of Plato's intellectual life, Sedley reexamines two highly contested scholarly issues: the dialogue's chronology and Cratylus' intellectual commitments.
		The important issue, and one for which Sedley argues quite persuasively, is that Cratylus' Heraclitean affinities underpin the early, flux-ridden cosmological etymologies of the dialogue since they suggest that cosmic fluidity is encoded in cosmological terms.

	Welcome to GoLive CyberStudio 3
		In Plato's dialogue `Cratylus', Hermogenes, whose name means `born of Hermes', is keen to shake off the insinuation of being a smooth talker.
		A third character, Socrates (representing Plato), takes part in the discussion with a provocative attitude, and holds the conventional view in the first part of the dialogue; he eventually agrees with Cratylus, but in the last part of the text, he accepts that no solution has been found to the problem.
		The first part of Cratylus is focused on the long-standing problem of whether things have an appellation which is given to them by nature, this being the view held by Cratylus, or whether words have been attributed to things on the basis of an agreement, and are therefore conventional: this is the theory of Hermogenes.

		On Cratylus’ view, the application of words is determined by certain natural depictive relations that hold between the phonemes that constitute the name and the properties of the entity to which the name applies.
		The Correctness of Names The Cratylus is in large part concerned with the application of words, and a crucial part of the application of words is their misapplication or, better, their misuse.
		Thus, on Cratylus’ view the Theory of Recollection is inessential because the ability of true names to divide the world along appropriate lines (and, hence, to perform the function of names) is independent of our knowledge state.

	Names and Nature in Plato's Cratylus - Rachel Barney - Microsoft Reader eBook
		This study offers a comprehensive new interpretation of one of Plato's most enigmatic and controversial dialogues, the Cratylus, showing it to present a complex and unified argument for a positive conclusion.
		The key to understanding this argument is to see that the Cratylus, Plato's most extended discussion of language, is essentially a normative inquiry, to be interpreted alongside his ethical and political works: it seeks to determine what deserves the name 'name', much as the Statesman determines who should count as a statesman.
		By the end of the dialogue, however, Plato's project turns out to have a paradoxical and pessimistic result: for names are found to be a kind of imitation, and as such incapable of real correctness.

	Plato's Cratylus (Cambridge Studies in the Dialogues of Plato)
		Plato's Cratylus is a brilliant but enigmatic dialogue.
		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 bears on a topic, the relation of language to knowledge, which has never ceased to be of central philosophical importance, but tackles it in ways which at times look alien to us.

	Amazon.ca: Books: The Cratylus: Plato's Critique of Naming
		The book discusses the rival theories of naming offered by Cratylus, Hermogenes, and Socrates, arguing that Socrates presents a prescriptive theory, laying down what names should be, rather than describing what they are.
		The Cratylus has puzzled many readers with its lengthy discussion of the `true meanings' of more than a hundred Greek names.

	Apophatic Theology in the Classical World
		In his dialogue the Cratylus Plato emphasized that the sensible world is in perpetual flux, and thus no real knowledge about it is possible, but only opinion.
		Plato did hold that one type of knowledge was valid, namely, knowledge of the Forms attained through rational insight.
		(Wisdom 13:5) Plato taught that the mind can intuit divine truths through contemplation, and the tradition of Aristotle holds that everything in the divine Intellect has its foundation in the sensible world, from which locus divine truths can be inferred.
