Theaetetus

Theaetetus is an ancient Greek philosophical dialogue by Plato that explores the nature of knowledge. It examines whether knowledge is perception, true belief, or something else entirely. Through conversations among Socrates and young Athenians, the dialogue questions how we understand what we know and challenges ideas about certainty and perception. The work encourages readers to think critically about the essence of knowledge, ultimately highlighting the complexities involved in defining and justifying our beliefs about the world.
