What if everything you knew was just perception?

Plato's Theaetetus is one of the most enduring and essential dialogues on the nature of knowledge. In a vivid philosophical exchange, Socrates engages Theaetetus-a bright young mathematician-in a discussion that still resonates with anyone who has ever questioned what it means to truly know something.

Is knowledge simply what we see and feel? Is it justified belief? Or is there a higher standard by which truth must be measured? With humor, persistence, and razor-sharp logic, Socrates tears down easy assumptions and forces us to rethink the nature of truth and understanding.

This contemporary adaptation brings clarity and accessibility to Plato's timeless ideas. Ideal for modern readers seeking a deep but readable dive into philosophy, this edition is a perfect starting point or reintroduction to the questions that underlie all intellectual inquiry.
