内容説明

"Theaetetus" is one of Plato's dialogues which reveals Plato's position on his question "what is knowledge?" This work is a philosophical analysis and critique of the "Theaetetus". The author examines Plato's arguments and the issues that they raise, showing the text as a transitional work in Plato's writings between the confident pronouncements of the middle dialogues, and the equally confident, but different views of the later dialogues. The relations between the "Theaetetus" and other works of Plato are included. Plato presents a problem that he himself seems to be unable to resolve but rival interpretations of the text are also examined. The author also refers to well-known views of Locke, Berkeley and Hume, Frege and Russell, Quine, Strawson, Kripke and others. He does not presuppose any knowledge of Greek.
