  6 Craty|            have by nature names; for nature is not opposed either to
  7 Craty|              a natural meaning. Thus nature, art, chance, all combine
  8 Craty|             a general account of the nature and origin of language,
  9 Craty|            profound insight into the nature of men and things, and yet
 10 Craty|               After illustrating the nature of correctness by the analogy
 11 Craty|           hard is knowledge, and the nature of names is a considerable
 12 Craty|              a name. But what is the nature of this correctness or truth,
 13 Craty|          each other in the course of nature; the words by which they
 14 Craty|           when, out of the course of nature, a prodigy occurs, and the
 15 Craty|          savage, man-of-the-mountain nature. Atreus again, for his murder
 16 Craty|            her healthy well-balanced nature, dia to artemes, or as aretes
 17 Craty|            in their search after the nature of things, become dizzy;

 19 Craty|             are intended to show the nature of things; and the secondary,
 20 Craty|             kind which expresses the nature of a thing; and is the invention
 21 Craty|         notion of a glutinous clammy nature: nu is sounded from within,
 22 Craty|              that names teach us the nature of things? ‘Yes.’ And naming
 23 Craty|             this purely quantitative nature. Suppose that there are
 24 Craty|              form and in their inner nature and qualities: then there
 25 Craty|           the flux or of the eternal nature be the truer, is hard to
 26 Craty|            respecting the origin and nature of language with the anticipations
 27 Craty|              modern times, until the nature of primitive antiquity had
 28 Craty|           wonderful insight into the nature of language. He does not

 30 Craty|    speculations about the origin and nature of language? Like other
 31 Craty|         while the association of the nature and habits of the animal
 32 Craty|              probably partook of the nature of interjections and nouns;
 33 Craty|            as in the other realms of nature.~These are some of the reflections
 34 Craty|          tree, or some other work of nature or art, is often in like
 35 Craty|             that we can discover the nature of language by reconstructing
 36 Craty|             light is thrown upon the nature of language by analogy.
 37 Craty|            we do not understand, how nature, by a law, calls into being
 38 Craty|         which stands between man and nature, which is the work of mind
 39 Craty|              is an aspect of man, of nature, and of nations, the transfiguration
 40 Craty|              of eternal or universal nature. When we analyze our own
 41 Craty|            in the universal cause or nature. In like manner we might
 42 Craty|             to language too much the nature of a cause, and too little
 43 Craty|        increase our insight into the nature of human speech. Many observations
 44 Craty|           the other great secrets of nature,—the origin of birth and
 45 Craty|              like other creations of nature into which the will of man
 46 Craty|           like the other gifts which nature has bestowed upon man, that
 47 Craty|            in which art has imitated nature, ‘words are not made but
 48 Craty|            over-ruling law of God or nature which gives order to it
 49 Craty|            the same—that the laws of nature are uniform, though the
 50 Craty|       appearances of language, as of nature, are irregular, but we do
 51 Craty|            observing how much of the nature of one passes into the other.
 52 Craty|              visible evidence of the nature and divisions of sound;
 53 Craty|          several points, such as the nature of irregular verbs, of indeclinable
 54 Craty|         points of view into the true nature of language.~(6) Thus far
 55 Craty|          things of beauty, as in all nature, in the composition as well
 56 Craty|          reach farther down into the nature of things. Gradually in
 57 Craty|              or beast or movement of nature, but that in all the higher
 58 Craty|             language throws upon the nature of the mind. Both in Greek

 60 Craty|            language. The subtlety of nature goes far beyond art, and
 61 Craty|         great authors partake of the nature of idioms: they are taken
 62 Craty|           has in it something of the nature of a lie, is far from unpleasing
 63 Craty|              other binds up man with nature, and distant ages and countries
 64 Craty|          other sciences and upon the nature of the human mind itself.
 65 Craty|              deeper insight into the nature of human speech will give
 66 Craty|            name given to anything by nature; all is convention and habit
 67 Craty|           the relation prescribed by nature.~HERMOGENES: I think, Socrates,
 68 Craty|            according to their proper nature, and not according to our
 69 Craty|         ourselves, but had a special nature of their own?~HERMOGENES:
 70 Craty|             forms of awls adapted by nature to their several uses?~HERMOGENES:
 71 Craty|         forms of shuttles adapted by nature to their uses?~HERMOGENES:
 72 Craty|            that things have names by nature, and that not every man
 73 Craty|             name which each thing by nature has, and is able to express
 74 Craty|        discovered that names have by nature a truth, and that not every
 75 Craty|            SOCRATES: And what is the nature of this truth or correctness
 76 Craty|            of the ordinary course of nature, when an animal produces
 77 Craty| extraordinary births;—if contrary to nature a horse have a calf, then
 78 Craty|             in the regular course of nature, is like the parent, and
 79 Craty|              follow in the course of nature?~HERMOGENES: Yes.~SOCRATES:
 80 Craty|          follow out of the course of nature, and are prodigies? for
 81 Craty|      mountain wildness of his hero’s nature.~HERMOGENES: That is very
 82 Craty|            name is also according to nature.~HERMOGENES: Clearly.~SOCRATES:
 83 Craty|             his name, so also is his nature; Agamemnon (admirable for
 84 Craty|         given and in accordance with nature, if the traditions about
 85 Craty|             two together signify the nature of the God, and the business
 86 Craty|            saying, is to express the nature. For there is none who is
 87 Craty|          running, from their running nature they were called Gods or
 88 Craty|             and motion to the entire nature of the body? What else but
 89 Craty|              which carries and holds nature (e phusin okei, kai ekei),
 90 Craty|          wisdom.~HERMOGENES: Of what nature?~SOCRATES: Well, rather
 91 Craty|          from their ignorance of the nature of names. But they go changing

 94 Craty|            in their search after the nature of things, are always getting
 95 Craty|           suppose to be a reality of nature; they think that there is
 96 Craty|             soul in company with the nature of things. Sophia (wisdom)
 97 Craty|            the admirable (agasto) in nature; for, although all things
 98 Craty|           and this admirable part of nature is called agathon. Dikaiosune (
 99 Craty|         conceive the greater part of nature to be a mere receptacle;
100 Craty|          general agreement about the nature of justice; but I, Hermogenes,
101 Craty|             because partaking of the nature of the cause, and I begin,
102 Craty|             which is the guardian of nature. And when I joyfully repeat
103 Craty|         greater perplexity about the nature of justice than I was before
104 Craty|               is an evil of the same nature (from a (alpha) not, and
105 Craty|          pheresthai) in harmony with nature; epithumia is really e epi
106 Craty|            the soul to the essential nature of each thing—just as boule (
107 Craty|             intended to indicate the nature of things.~HERMOGENES: Of
108 Craty|      SOCRATES: We should imitate the nature of the thing; the elevation
109 Craty|             would he not express the nature of each thing?~HERMOGENES:
110 Craty|            the namer has grasped the nature of them in letters and syllables
111 Craty|         notion of a glutinous clammy nature, as in glischros, glukus,
112 Craty|           correct name indicates the nature of the thing:—has this proposition
113 Craty|           that he has nothing of the nature of Hermes in him, shall

119 Craty|          become other and of another nature, so that you cannot get
120 Craty|             further in knowing their nature or state, for you cannot
121 Craty|           and exist. But if the very nature of knowledge changes, at
