Theaetetus (Illustrated) Kindle Edition

by Plato (Author), Aeterna Press (Editor) Format: Kindle Edition

— A Classic — Includes Active Table of Contents — Includes Religious Illustrations

SOME dialogues of Plato are of so various a character that their relation to the other dialogues cannot be determined with any degree of certainty. The Theaetetus, like the Parmenides, has points of similarity both with his earlier and his later writings. The perfection of style, the humour, the dramatic interest, the complexity of structure, the fertility of illustration, the shifting of the points of view, are characteristic of his best period of authorship. The vain search, the negative conclusion, the figure of the midwives, the constant profession of ignorance on the part of Socrates, also bear the stamp of the early dialogues, in which the original Socrates is not yet Platonized. Had we no other indications, we should be disposed to range the Theaetetus with the Apology and the Phaedrus, and perhaps even with the Protagoras and the Laches.

2.0 out of 5 stars Misleading Product Information
Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2012

The editorial review makes it seem as though this is Joe Sachs' new translation. It is not. This is simply Jowett's old, extremely outdated translation, available in the public domain (just do a google search for it). There is no scholarly apparatus or introduction of any kind. In short, don't waste your money on an overpriced repackaging of something that is common property.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete dialogue
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2011

This item appears to be directly taken from the translation posted on the MIT classics site that is free and available to the public, and could easily be copied into a word document and emailed onto the Kindle via document delivery: [...]

It cuts off in the middle of the dialogue, exactly where the MIT version does. For the full Theaetetus, look elsewhere.
