Plato's Theory of Knowledge

by Norman Gulley

First published in 1962, this book provides a systematic account of the development of Plato’s theory of knowledge. Beginning with a consideration of the Socratic and other influences which determined the form in which the problem of knowledge first presented itself to Plato, the author then works through the dialogues from the Meno to the Laws and examines in detail Plato’s progressive attempts to solve the problem.

[Benjamin · Rating 4 out of 5]

A thorough and detailed exploration of Plato's epistemology, giving it a structure and consistency where possible despite it being split over a wide range of dialogues. Not one to read for pleasure as such, but a must for any undergraduate looking at Plato's work.
