Publisher Description What exactly is knowledge?The Theaetetus is a seminal text in the philosophy of knowledge, and is acknowledged as one of Platos finest works. Cast as a conversation between Socrates and a clever but modest student, Theaetetus, it explores one of the key issues in philosophy: what is knowledge? Though no definite answer is reached, the discussion is penetrating and wide-ranging, covering the claims of perception tobe knowledge, the theory that all is in motion, and the perennially tempting idea that knowledge and truth are relative to different individuals or states. The inquirers go on to explore the connection between knowledge andtrue judgement, and the famous threefold definition of knowledge as justified true belief. Packed with subtle arguments, the dialogue is also a work of literary genius, with an unforgettable portrait of Socrates as a midwife of wisdom. This new edition uses the acclaimed translation by John McDowell. It includes a valuable introduction that locates the work in Platos oeuvre, and explains some of the competing interpretations of its overall meaning. The noteselucidate Platos arguments and draw connections within the work and with other philosophical discussions.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford Worlds Classics has made available thewidest range of literature from around the globe.
