Platoâs Cratylus
Proceedings of the Eleventh Symposium Platonicum Pragense
Series: - Brill's Plato Studies Series, Volume: 8
Volume Editor:
The present volume offers a collection of papers on one of Platoâs most intriguing dialogues. Although not a running commentary, the book covers the majority of difficult questions raised by the dialogue in which the subjects of language and ontology are tied closely together. It shows why Platoâs Cratylus has been highly regarded among readers interested in ancient philosophy and those concerned with modern semantics and theory of language. This collection also presents original views on the position of the dialogue in the whole Platoâs Åuvre and in the context of Platoâs contemporaries and successors.
VladimÃr MikeÅ¡, Ph.D. (2009), Charles University in Prague, is a researcher at the Czech Academy of Sciences (Institute of Philosophy). He has published on ancient philosophy, mainly Plato and the Stoics, including Le paradoxe stoïcien: liberté de lâaction déterminée (Vrin, 2016).
