Theaetetus (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789358044003)

Plato's Theaetetus is a philosophical dialogue that explores the nature of knowledge, perception, and the definition of truth. It takes its name from its central character, Theaetetus, a young mathematician whose understanding of knowledge is challenged and examined by Socrates. Through a series of thought experiments and philosophical arguments, Plato explores different theories of knowledge, including sensory perception, rationalism, and the nature of concepts and definitions. The dialogue delves into topics such as the role of perception in acquiring knowledge, the relationship between true belief and knowledge, and the limitations of human understanding. The dialogue challenges conventional notions of knowledge and invites readers to critically examine their own understanding of truth and certainty. It remains a significant work in the field of epistemology and continues to influence discussions on the nature of knowledge and perception.
