Cratylus-Plato (Πλάτων)

from Symposium (version 2) (dramatic reading)

Cratylus by Plato delves into the nature of language and the relationship between names and the objects they signify. This dialogue features a thought-provoking discussion on whether names are inherently connected to their meanings or if they are merely arbitrary conventions. The exploration of these concepts remains relevant today as we navigate an increasingly complex world of communication and interpretation. Engaging with Cratylus invites listeners to reflect on the power of language and its implications for understanding reality, making it a timeless work that resonates with anyone interested in philosophy, linguistics, and the foundations of meaning.
