  1. (1 other version)Language as picture in Plato’s Cratylus and Wittgenstein’s Tractatus.Shlomy Mualem - 2007 - Tópicos: Revista de Filosofía 33 (1):9-35.
    La intención del siguiente artículo es comparar las doctrinas del lenguaje como una pintura en Platón y Wittgenstein, concentrándose en el Cratilo y en el Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. A pesar de que el Cratilo trata sobre la corrección de los nombres mientras que el Tractatus atiende la naturaleza y estructura de las proposiciones, el estudio demuestra, centrado en Cratilo 421c-427e y Tractatus 4.01-4.12, que las doctrinas del lenguaje-como-pintura en estos textos se parecen en términos de sus propiedades básicas y su estructura.

  • A Study of Plato's Cratylus.Geoffrey Bagwell - 2010 - Dissertation, Duquesne University
    In the last century, philosophers turned their attention to language.

The dialogue is a source of annoyance to many commentators because it does not take a clear position on the central question. At times, it argues that language is conventional, and, at other times, defends the view that language is natural. This lack of commitment has led to a (...)

  • Does Plato Argue Fallaciously at Cratylus 385b–c?Geoffrey Bagwell - 2011 - Apeiron 44 (1):13-21.
    At Cratylus 385b–c, Plato appears to argue that names have truth-value. Critics have almost universally condemned the argument as fallacious. Their case has proven so compelling that it has driven editors to recommend moving or removing the argument from its received position in the manuscripts. I argue that a close reading of the argument reveals it commits no fallacy, and its purpose in the dialogue justifies its original position. I wish to vindicate the manuscript tradition, showing that the argument establishes (...)
