Theaetetus

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the nature of knowledge and perception, this philosophical dialogue features Theaetetus, a young mathematician, as he engages with Socrates. Through thought experiments, various theories of knowledge are examined, including the roles of sensory perception and rationalism. Key themes include the relationship between true belief and knowledge, as well as the limitations of human understanding. This work challenges conventional views on knowledge, prompting readers to reflect on their own beliefs about truth and certainty, making it a cornerstone in epistemology.
