First published in 1962, this book provides a systematic account of
the development of Plato's theory of knowledge. Beginning with a
consideration of the Socratic and other influences which determined
the form in which the problem of knowledge first presented itself
to Plato, the author then works through the dialogues from the Meno
to the Laws and examines in detail Plato's progressive attempts to
solve the problem.
