Clarendon Plato Series. Theaetetus is a remarkably rich dialogue that raises any number of important epistemological questions, and it rewards careful study. By systematically and thoroughly examining the text and by exploring the issues Plato raises in terms of modern epistemic concerns, Plato's Theaetetus adds a new and helpful perspective to the ever growing body of scholarship on this pivotal dialogue.

Plato, John McDowell. What exactly is knowledge?'. The Theaetetus is a seminal text in the philosophy of knowledge, and is acknowledged as one of Plato's finest works.

Plato, John Henry McDowell. Theaetetus, Том 9 Clarendon Plato Series, Clarendon Plato Series. Plato, John Henry McDowell. Theaetetus records the first critical attempt to come to grips with certain intricate and vexing problems of human knowledge. What is required in the interest of philosophy is a theory of knowledge. Plato felt governors must be philosophers so they may govern wisely and effectively. Plato founded the Academy, an educational institution dedicated to pursuing philosophic truth.

John McDowell taught at University College, Oxford before moving to Pittsburgh in 1986. He was the John Locke Lecturer at the University of Oxford in 1991. Lesley Brown was Centenary Fellow and Tutor in Philosophy at Somerville College, and a University Lecturer in the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Oxford; she is now an emeritus fellow. She has published widely on Plato's dialogues, notably the Theaetetus and Sophist, as well as on Aristotle.

  • This is my second Clarendon series that I have bought. The first is Clarendon Aristotle Series (Nicomachean and Politics). Excellent translation and the reason why I bought and trust this series is because of line-by-line commentary that takes more than half of the book. Extremely useful. I do miss an interpretive essay that comes with other series. I just wished that there is an edition that has an extensive intrepretive essay AND extensive line-by-line commentary like this one, that would have been a perfect one. But in the abscence of such a book, this Clarendon Series is perfect enough.

  • Plato, insightful.

  • Most of Plato's works are conversations in which Socrates tries to find a precise definition of some word that people assume they understand. For example, the Euthyphro is about "what is holiness?", the Charmides is about "what is temperance?", and the Republic is about "what is justice?" (and justifies why it is proper to be just). The Theaetetus is about "what is knowledge?" To benefit from reading Plato one should carefully choose the translation one uses and I like this one by McDowell. For a thorough study of the dialogue by someone who doesn't read Attic Greek, Cornford also wrote translations of the Theaetetus and the Sophist that are likely excellent like all Cornford's works, and there is a celebrated commentary on the Theaetetus by Burnyeat attached to Levett's translation.

    Now professional philosophers like to play games about whether knowledge is justified true belief (look up the "Gettier problem"), similar to asking whether some particular action is right, like diverting a train to hit one man and thus save many, rather than working out a coherent view of what it means to know. In the Theaetetus Plato perhaps connects knowledge to his theory of Forms: in 186d, "So knowledge is located, not in our experiences, but in our reasoning about those things we mentioned; because it's possible, apparently, to grasp being and truth in the latter, but impossible in the former." A bold reading of this is that the objects of knowledge are not sensible objects but Forms. Plato also gives two metaphors for knowing, the "imprint-receiving piece of wax in our minds" (191) and a "sort of aviary for birds of every kind" (197). Plato certainly does not mean that these are true mechanical models of knowing, but using metaphors like these feels to me like cognitive science and neuroscience.
