Know about the book -
Plato's Cratylus is written by Michael W. Riley and published by BRILL. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 9401202389 (ISBN 10) and 9789401202381 (ISBN 13).
This book explains how the Cratylus, Plato’s apparently meandering and comical dialogue on the correctness of names, makes serious philosophical progress by its notorious etymological digressions. While still a wild ride through a Heraclitean flood of etymologies which threatens to swamp language altogether, the Cratylus emerges as an astonishingly organized evaluation of the power of words.
