Summary "Θεαίτητος" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue written in ancient times. This work delves into the nature of knowledge and science, presenting ideas through conversations primarily involving Socrates and a young mathematician named Theaetetus. The dialogue examines various definitions of knowledge, exploring what it means to truly know something. At the start of the dialogue, we are introduced to the characters Eucleides and Terpsion, who discuss the ailing Theaetetus, a significant figure within the conversation. Eucleides reveals that he carries a written account of Socrates' dialogues with Theaetetus and others. The initial exchanges establish a context for examining the theme of knowledge, as Socrates invites Theaetetus to define what knowledge is, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of philosophical concepts related to expertise and wisdom throughout the ensuing dialogue.
