Plato''s Theory of Knowledge - The Theaetetus and the Sophist

Informationen zum Autor Plato ranks among the most familiar ancient philosophers, along with his teacher, Socrates, and his student, Aristotle. In addition to writing philosophical dialogues — used to teach logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion, and mathematics as well as philosophy — he founded Athens' Academy, the Western world's first institution of higher learning. Klappentext This edition of two masterpieces of Plato's later period features extensive ongoing commentaries by Cornford that provide helpful background information and valuable insights. The "Theaetetus" offers a systematic treatment of the question "What is knowledge?" The "Sophist" follows Socrates' cross-examination of a self-proclaimed true philosopher.
