Theaetetus (Oxford Worlds Classics)

"Theaetetus" in the Oxford World's Classics series presents a timeless exploration of the nature of knowledge and perception through the dialogues of Plato. Set in ancient Athens, the dialogue follows the philosophical exchanges between Socrates and Theaetetus, a young mathematician, as they grapple with questions of epistemology and the definition of knowledge. Through rigorous inquiry and dialectical argumentation, Plato delves into the complexities of perception, opinion, and true understanding, challenging readers to critically examine the foundations of human cognition. As Socrates guides Theaetetus through a series of intellectual puzzles and philosophical reflections, the dialogue prompts profound insights into the nature of truth and the limits of human comprehension. With its thought-provoking exploration of epistemological themes, "Theaetetus" remains a seminal work in the history of Western philosophy, inviting readers to engage in a timeless quest for wisdom and understanding.
