Talk:Cratylus (dialogue)

Cratylus as one of the "earliest" linguistic philosophical texts
"'In doing this, Cratylus became one of the earliest philosophical texts of the Classical Greek period to deal with matters of etymology and linguistics.'"

I find this statement to raise doubt in myself: linguistics, the philosophy of language, and, specifically, the "correctness of names" (as per Reeve's introduction to his translation) was a "topic of great interest to Plato's contemporaries." Nor can I find a reference to back this claim up. Would anybody object if I was to remove this statement? Mythpage88 (talk) 03:59, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
