Theaetetus

Theaetetus – Plato

What is knowledge—and can we ever truly possess it?

In Theaetetus, Plato presents a deep and absorbing dialogue in which Socrates explores the nature of knowledge with the young mathematician Theaetetus. Together, they examine whether knowledge is perception, true belief, or something more complex.

As each definition is tested and challenged, the conversation reveals the difficulty of defining what we think we understand—inviting readers into one of philosophy’s most enduring debates.

Perfect for readers interested in philosophy, epistemology, and critical thinking, Theaetetus offers:

A profound exploration of knowledge and perception Engaging Socratic dialogue that challenges assumptions Insight into the limits of human understanding A cornerstone text in Western philosophy

Intellectually rich and thought-provoking, Theaetetus encourages you to question not just what you know—but how you know it.

Is knowledge certainty—or something far more elusive?
