Plato's Epistemology

PLATO'S EPISTEMOLOGY:
Plato's writings on Epistemology, (or the theory of knowledge), have a central place in his works. They are an astonishing achievement, spanning, a vast array of topics and problems, and overlapping with many more: they are the product of an immensely fertile mind. Many philosophers in the past have been deeply influenced by them, and many still continue to be.
Andreas Sofroniou has concentrated on what he considers to be the most important epistemological passages in Plato. He has kept an eye throughout on Plato's discussion of particular philosophical problems concerned with knowledge such as the distinction between knowledge and belief, whether or not they are incompatible, how one arrives at them - and what their objects are, and he has shown how Plato's views on them appear to have developed.
The condensed texts in this book are taken from six books: the Meno, Phaedo, Republic, Parmenides, Theaetetus (Plato's major work on epistemology), and Sophist.
