Resumo: I aim to show that in the Cratylus Plato develops a model for names and meaning that offers alternative solutions to some of the problems in linguistic naturalism and conventionalism. I will focus chiefly on the reconstruction of the argument at 384a8-391a4 and on the later refutation of the crude naturalism at 428dff. The aim is to explain Plato’s two main theses on names according to which (a) names are instruments made by convention in order to perform some specific action, and (b) they have a semantic-normative external source lying in the natural essences of things. In addition, I aim to show that Plato’s Cratylus initiates the descriptive theory of meaning which Aristotle continues in De Interpretatione.

Me concentraré principalmente en la reconstrucción del argumento en 384a8-391a4, y en la posterior refutación del naturalismo crudo en 428d ss., con el objetivo de explicar dos principales tesis platónicas sobre los nombres según las cuales ellos son (a) instrumentos convencionalmente fabricados para realizar una acción específica, y (b) tienen en las esencias naturales de las cosas su fuente semántico-normativa externa. Además, trataré de mostrar que el Crátilo inicia la teoría descriptiva del significado proseguida por Aristóteles en De Interpretatione.Revista HypnosHypnos Journal2015-04-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/77Revista Hypnos; n. 34 (2015)Hypnos Journal; No. 34 (2015)2177-53461413-9138reponame:Hypnosinstname:Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)instacron:FSBporhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/article/view/77/77Copyright (c) 2015 Fabián Miéinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMié, Fabián2015-10-03T02:27:34Zoai:ojs.hypnos.org.br:article/77Revistahttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnosPRIhttps://hypnos.org.br/index.php/hypnos/oairachelgazolla@gmail.com2177-53461413-9138opendoar:2023-01-13T09:46:46.427570Hypnos - Faculdade de São Bento (FSB)false
