Hello! I’ll have a speaking Semantics exam about Plato’s Cratylus and this video helped me a lot with the example of slaves and masters. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! That example is crucial. It highlights the central matters of language: conventionality and justice (correctness). Hope your exam goes well.
Excellent 'walk through' of Cratylus. It was logical, made the work accesible, and, was informative. You covered the most important points and that helped me when I read the work. Thank you.
Eudoxus & that heavenly firmament above .... the key to understand the rightness of names is astrology. Logos; as above, so below. What are the intervals of time which are decreed to us from Above? By the organs of time (the planets). Out of such intervals must names be forged. The 7 planets correspond to the 7 vowels. Only then, in a world carefully designed wherein the objects existing therein are proper reflections of the heavenly original (properly named; existing in true form), could a world hope to live in harmony with what is.
"The gods are playful with words".Some examples of divine playfulness.....Mt everest in Tibeten is...Chomolungma.Chomo spoken backwards quickly IN SPANISH,is mucho=alot. Lungma in english backwards and quickly=lotsa lung.So,two languages that DID NOT EXIST when the name "chomolungma" came to be.So,can we agree that to reach the summit of Mt.Everest you need lotsa lung,ma! Amphetemines=Amp those feet o mine! Psylosibin= Psy bin silly!

Reading this dialogue together with Heidegger’s The Nature of Language is fascinating.

Hebrew is supposed to be the best language.
I've heard it said ... But best for what?
