What is the relationship between words and the things they describe? In this dialogue, three thinkers explore whether language is a product of convention or if it reflects a deeper, natural connection to reality. Socrates joins the discussion, questioning whether names inherently carry meaning or are simply agreed-upon labels. Along the way, he investigates etymologies, puns, and the power of names to shape thought. The discussion offers profound insights into linguistics, semantics, and the philosophical foundations of language. As abstract as it is playful, this work anticipates many modern debates about words, meaning, and the ways language reflects and distorts truth.
