Description of
Knowledge and Self-Knowledge in Plato's Theaetetus
Knowledge and Self-Knowledge in Plato's _Theaetetus_ examines the dialogue in conversation with others, arriving at the conclusion that it is the absence of self-knowledge in the Theaetetus which leads to its closing impasse regarding knowledge. What Socrates accomplishes in the dialogue is to lead the mathematician Theaetetus to the recognition of his ignorance_the first step toward self-knowledge.
