The Cratylus : Plato's critique of naming Baxter, Timothy M. S. 1992 Philosophia antiqua, 0079-1687 ( Serie ) Leiden ; New York : E.J. Brill 9789004320796 Abstract

This detailed discussion of the Cratylus aims to explain the function of the long etymological section within the dialogue as a whole, arguing that it represents a Platonic critique of common Greek ideas about names.
