Naming God as "King" and the Figure of the Legislator in Plato's Cratylus
Original language description
Socrates' hints about the hidden metaphysics of principles underlying the names of the highest divine triad Zeus-Cronus-Ouranus in the Cratylus helps to solve the main political issue of the dialogue, which concerns the proper use of the title "king". The link to metaphysics shows, on the one hand, the impossibility of a hereditary transfer of "kingly" rule among human beings, thus confirming contemporary widespread skepticism about kingship, On the other hand, it helps to identify exceptional persons who, by virtue of their nous, are the true heirs to divine rule and can thus become philosopher-kings.
