What if knowledge was just a feeling—and not a fact?

Plato's Theaetetus is a dynamic and challenging exploration of knowledge, perception, and belief. In this dialogue, Socrates meets Theaetetus, a bright youth, to examine what it really means to "know" something. Through probing questions and clever counterarguments, Socrates reveals the limits of perception, the pitfalls of assumption, and the elusive nature of certainty.

What you'll discover inside:

  • A Powerful Dialogue on Knowledge – Socratic reasoning that explores the foundations of thought

  • The Roots of Western Epistemology – Ideas that continue to influence how we understand truth

  • A Modern, Accessible Translation – Making classical wisdom engaging for today's listeners

  • A Journey of Intellectual Exploration – An encounter with doubt that leads to deeper understanding

    Perfect for listeners seeking intellectual stimulation and philosophical reflection, Theaetetus invites you to re-examine the way you see the world. Join Socrates on a quest to uncover the essence of knowledge.
