Plato's Theaetetus

Excerpt from Plato''s TheaetetusThe translation follows Burnet''s text except where I have given reasons for departing from it or proposed corrections of passages that are probably or certainly corrupt. I have tried to follow Plato''s own practice of keeping to the current language of educated conversation and refusing to allow any word to harden into a technical term. The commentary attempts only to interpret Plato from his own writings and those of his forerunners and contemporaries and accordingly avoids so far as possible the misleading jargon of modern philosophy. Terms like sub jectivism'' ''relativism'' ''sensationalism'' even when defined often mask ambiguities of thought that are lost sight of as this token currency passes from hand to hand.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
