What are Socrates
’
aims and strategies in the
Cratylus? Does Socrates seek to convince his
interlocutors that there is a source of linguistic correctness, which goes beyond human agreement,
and which really
determines whether the name of something is the correct name? Or does Socrates
seek to achieve the opposite? What strategies does Socrates use, and why? These questions are
central to my thesis, which offer
s a new interpretation of Plato’s
Cratylus
. In the
thesis I argue that
Socrates really does seek to convince his
interlocutors that there is a
“natural correctness of names”
,
but that he does so in a very special way, which is closely linked to the specific characters
and
views of his interlocutors.
