Home Page Plato Plato (b. 428 B.C.?, d. 347 B.C.?) was a student of Socrates, and wrote numerous philosophical works in the form of dialogues between Socrates and various interlocutors representing different strata of Greek society. Major Works: The Apology The Phaedo The Crito The Meno The Symposium The Republic Gorgias Phaedrus Philebus Theaetetus Protagoras The Sophist Timaeus Plato's Life: Born, 428 B.C.(?), in Athens or Aegina prior to 399 B.C., studied with Socrates 399 B.C., after the execution of Socrates, took refuge in Megara 399 - 387 B.C., traveled extensively in Greece. Egypt, and Italy 387 B.C., founded The Academy in Athens 367 B.C., went to Syracuse to tutor Dionysius II at the suggestion of Dion Died, 347 B.C.(?) Plato's Contribution to Philosophy: Plato carved out a subject matter for philosophy by formulating and discussing a wide range of metaphysical and ethical questions. To explain the similarities and resemblances among objects of the physical world, he developed a metaphysics of Forms. His views about ethical questions could be grounded in his metaphysics of Forms via the contemplation of the Form of The Good. Plato therefore found an inherent connection between metaphysics and ethics. His greatest work, The Republic , developed an insightful analogy between harmony in the state and harmony in the individual, and it is often considered one of the greatest works ever written. Plato wrote dialogues that considered the nature of virtue itself, as well as the nature of particular virtues. He also considered epistemological questions, such as whether knowledge is justified true belief.

GREEK PHIL Knowledge and Virtue in Plato's Theaetetus: Part Two by Gordon L. Ziniewicz 18. It is important to understand the full implications (and ambiguity) of Theaetetus' response that "knowledge is simply perception." (151e) The word perception ( aisthesis 19. One might ask if the geometer knows the Pythagorean theorem even when he is not picturing it to himself. Similar refutations will emerge in subsequent discussion, including the problem of seeing versus remembering. What Theaetetus has in mind is something like Heraclitus' saying, "I prefer things which can be seen, heard, and perceived." (Fragment 55) The question of direct versus hearsay evidence, of great importance in courts of law, may, ironically, have something to do with knowledge. The Theaetetus 20. One could make the case that as long as the argument looks for knowledge in the sphere of opinion in the dark, as it were such looking is doomed to failure. There is no way within the flux of opinion to find knowledge, except in the negative sense to find that it cannot be found there. Heraclitus wrote: "Eyes and ears give bad testimony to men, if men's souls do not understand what their eyes and ears are telling them." (Fragment 107) Perception and opinion are meaningless unless some stable meaning (

Plato (circa 428-c. 347 BC) Special thanks to the Microsoft Corporation for their contribution to our site.  The following information came from Microsoft Encarta. Here is a hyperlink to the Microsoft Encarta home page.   http://www.encarta.msn.com Plato (circa 428-c. 347 BC), Greek philosopher, one of the most creative and influential thinkers in Western philosophy. Life Plato was born to an aristocratic family in Athens. His father, Ariston, was believed to have descended from the early kings of Athens. Perictione, his mother, was distantly related to the 6th- century BC lawmaker Solon. When Plato was a child, his father died, and his mother married Pyrilampes, who was an associate of the statesman Pericles. As a young man Plato had political ambitions, but he became disillusioned by the political leadership in Athens. He eventually became a disciple of Socrates, accepting his basic philosophy and dialectical style of debate: the pursuit of truth through questions, answers, and additional questions. Plato witnessed the death of Socrates at the hands of the Athenian democracy in 399 BC. Perhaps fearing for his own safety, he left Athens temporarily and traveled to Italy, Sicily, and Egypt. In 387 Plato founded the Academy in Athens, the institution often described as the first European university. It provided a comprehensive curriculum, including such subjects as astronomy, biology, mathematics, political theory, and philosophy. Aristotle was the Academy's most prominent student.

Plato THEAETETUS translated by Benjamin Jowett Persons of the Dialogue : SOCRATES ; THEODORUS ; THEAETETUS. Scene : Euclid and Terpsion meet in front of Euclid’s house in Megara ; they enter the house, and the dialogue is read to them by a servant. Euclid. Have you only just arrived from the country, Terpsion ? Terpsion. No, I came some time ago : and I have been in the Agora looking for you, and wondering that I could not find you. Euc. But I was not in the city. Terp. Where then ? Euc. As I was going down to the harbour, I met Theaetetus — he was being carried up to Athens from the army at Corinth. Terp. Was he alive or dead ? Euc. He was scarcely alive, for he has been badly wounded ; but he was suffering even more from the sickness which has broken out in the army. Terp. The dysentery, you mean ? Euc. Yes. Terp. Alas ! what a loss he will be ! Euc. Yes, Terpsion, he is a noble fellow ; only to-day I heard some people highly praising his behaviour in this very battle. Terp. No wonder ; I should rather be surprised at hearing anything else of him. But why did he go on, instead of stopping at Megara ? Euc.

Source: Phronesis: A journal for Ancient Philosophy , Volume 46, Number 1, 2001, pp. 1-37(37) Publisher: Brill Academic Publishers View Table of Contents full text options Abstract: Any comprehensive interpretation of the Theaetetus has to provide answers to, among others, two very general questions concerning that dialogue: "What is Plato's relation to the problems faced in the Theaetetus ?" and "What is the significance of the absence of the Forms from the discussion of the Theaetetus , given their undoubted relevance to the topic of the dialogue, i.e. knowledge?" Predominantly, the answer given to the first question in the literature has been that the problems are those that Plato is trying to tackle and the one to the second question, when it has been addressed at all, that the Forms are left out of the discussion because Plato no longer thought them relevant, either for having abandoned or seriously revised them, by the time of writing the Theaetetus .

The interpretation allows us to make good sense of Plato's discussion of 'other-judging' (189c-190e), of his remarks about mathematical error (195d-196c), and most importantly, of the initial statement of the puzzle about falsity (188a-c). That puzzle shows that if we insist on conceiving of the relation between thought and its objects on the model of holding or grasping something in our hands, we will be unable to account for the possibility of false identity judgments: For no one who is literally grasping two things in his hands would seriously entertain the idea that one of the things is numerically identical with the other.

Fifth, what are Socrates' political attitudes and his position on civil disobedience? Indeed, how might his religious views explain the charges brought against him? Finally, when Socrates decides not to do something is he guided by his daimonion's voice or by reason? Chapter one moves us away from a Socrates who is wholly concerned with the consistency of propositions toward a Socrates who is equally concerned with the value of the lives of his fellow Athenians. For after acknowledging that Socrates is aware of asking questions but not of using a technical method, the authors point out that he did not say that it is the untested proposition which is not worth holding but the unexamined life which is not worth living. Here is why Socratic dialogue might well be characterized as getting a respondent to express the values by which he lives in propositions so that both his life and propositions can be tested. If a respondent can oblige, the importance of his method is then found in a man telling Socrates what he sincerely believes. So important is this rule that the process of inquiry is said to be left open in order that a respondent may amend or even withdraw the belief first stated or so that someone, initially ignorant of what he actually believes will later discover how mistaken he is. Indeed, it is this sort of
