Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(5 pp) In Theatetus (lines 188-196) ,Plato attempts
to explain how we can arrive at false decisions,
he labels these false thinking strategies as "false
judgments." But before we know, which judgments
are false, or faulty, we first need to know how we
determine whether things are true or not. It is
not that one bit of knowledge is impossible without
the other, but it is usually the style of Greek
philosophers to lead us, to answer our own
question, in a logical, and sequential manner.
Thus, before something is determined as false, we
will have to look at how we know that something
is true. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Knowledge is true judgment. Socrates and Theatetus are talking about the nature of knowledge. Theatetus suggests that mathematics is knowledge. Socrates suggests that mathematics is
an example of knowledge, but does not get to the core of the definition. What is it he asks that accounts for the fact that knowledge cannot be mistaken?
In the modern world we are prone to say that, everyone has their own sense of reality. Socrates would then ask, is reality, knowledge. We could respond by
