The Theaetetus Of Plato (1875) - Plato

The Theaetetus is a philosophical dialogue written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato in which Socrates engages in a conversation with his student Theaetetus about the nature of knowledge. The dialogue explores various theories of knowledge, including the idea that knowledge is perception, that it is true belief, and that it is a combination of both perception and true belief. Socrates challenges each of these theories, arguing that knowledge must be something more than mere perception or belief. Throughout the dialogue, the characters engage in a lively debate about the nature of knowledge and the limitations of human understanding. The Theaetetus is considered one of Plato's most important works and has had a significant influence on the development of Western philosophy.
