That such excellence existed was difficult to deny but people expected to show it often disappointed and others expected to know about it seemed confused. Though it depended on something like knowledge it seemed impossible to pass on to others. Hence questions of social and political ethics also involve psychology and theory of knowledge. There is also an important focus on the nature of the learning process which is itself illustrated by the way characters in the dialogue respond or do not respond to the questions and encouragement of Plato’s protagonist Socrates. This book examines both the dialogue itself and the response to it of Plato’s successors from Aristotle and spurious Platonic dialogues through Cicero and an anonymous commentator on the Theaetetus to the Neoplatonists. It looks at which aspects of the dialogue they take most seriously and why. In the light of that response which often suggests a detailed reading of the text in its entirety Harold Tarrant develops a fresh and more integrated view of the original dialogue. - AUTHOR: Harold Tarrant is Professor of Classics and Head of the School of Liberal Arts at the University of Newcastle Australia.
