Plato's Theory of Recollection

Plato's theory of recollection is one of the formative moments in epistemology, says M m mc cape. It raises questions about how we go from not knowing something to knowing it - and what Plato offers us as a solution are solutions that aren't necessarily so completely crackers. And i think that's why thinking about to its theory of recollection in these rather flexible ways shows how brilliant he was., adds Cape.
