Plato on Knowledge - The Meno and Theaetetus (History of Philosophy)
Description
Peter Adamson discusses Plato's dialogues the Meno and the Theaetetus, which address various epistemological topics, including Meno's paradox, Plato's theory of recollection, the nature of knowledge, relativism, and the difference between knowledge and true belief (e.g. what must be added to a true belief to turn it into knowledge, and why knowledge is more valuable than mere true belief). This comes from Peter Adamson's amazing podcast on the History of Philosophy from a few years back, which can be found here: https://www.historyofphilosophy.net
