In The Theaetetus of Plato, one of antiquity's most rigorous and searching dialogues, Socrates engages the brilliant young mathematician Theaetetus in a probing investigation into the nature of knowledge itself — whether it is perception, true belief, or something far more elusive. Set against the intellectual ferment of classical Athens, the dialogue dismantles each proposed definition with surgical precision, leaving the reader suspended at the edge of certainty.\n\nTranslated with scholarly care by M. J. Levett, this edition presents Plato's dialectical genius with clarity and fidelity, preserving the dramatic tension and philosophical depth of the original Greek. The Theaetetus stands as a cornerstone of epistemology, anticipating debates that would echo through Descartes, Kant, and beyond. For those who dare to ask what it truly means to know anything at all, Plato's answer — or deliberate lack of one — is as unsettling and vital today as it was in the fifth century BC.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130645586139,"sku":"2026200010208-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4173e587-499e-4c64-aa8e-ab3bcdd99d5e.png?v=1786588055","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010208-secondhand-the-theaetetus-of-plato","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
