Resumo: The article aims to understand the role of names in Plato’s Cratylus based upon the ontological theory that backgrounds the discussion. From the identi?cation, at some level, of the theory of Ideas follows an attempt to coordinate into an ontological scheme important terms on Plato’s thought as essence and Idea. After establishing the roles of Idea and essence in relation to things comes the effort to prove its correspondence when applied to names. This investigation leads to a new possibility in understanding the relations between names and things based on their functions (when they realize their essence) and on their connection with Ideas. Such an understanding allows one to see the function of names as a simple instrument for reference. If so, there is a plausible justi?cation for the denying of names on the search for knowledge that appears in the aporetic ending of the dialogue.

Assim, assumindo a presença em algum grau da Teoria das Formas, primeiro se realiza uma esquematização da ontologia das coisas no esforço de coordenar termos caros à ?loso?a de Platão como essência e Forma. Após o estabelecimento do papel da essência e Forma relativo às coisas vem a tentativa de comprovar sua correspondência no que concerne aos nomes. Esta tentativa gera uma possibilidade de entender as relações entre nomes e coisas a partir de suas funções (quando estes realizam suas essências) e de sua ligação com as Formas. Isto permite determinar a função dos nomes que seria meramente de referir. Assim, em vista deste funcionamento, se justi?ca o invalidamento dos nomes na busca pelo conhecimento que aparece no ?nal aporético do diálogo.Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos (SBEC)2012-07-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revista.classica.org.br/classica/article/view/7410.14195/2176-6436_25_2Classica; Vol. 25 No. 1/2 (2012); 23-36Classica - Revista Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos; v. 25 n. 1/2 (2012); 23-362176-64360103-431610.24277/classica.v25i1/2reponame:Classica (Sociedade Brasileira de Estudos Clássicos.
