In 'Theaetetus', Plato delves into the question of what constitutes knowledge, examining three definitions: knowledge as perception, true judgment, and true judgment with an account.
Through Socratic dialogue, Plato critiques these definitions, ultimately concluding that none are satisfactory.
The dialogue is a seminal work on epistemology, highlighting the challenges of defining knowledge.
