Abstract

The aim of this paper is to make a brief discussion about three aspects that characterize the Socrates's Dream in the Theaetetus. First, I comment the function of the Dream in the context of the third definition of knowledge. Them I move on the text and examine some questions concerning the notion of logos in 201d-202c. In the last section I discuss the problem of perception of the stoicheia. At this point I refuse the thesis, defended by some interpreters, that Plato puts the stoicheia in the same perceptual condition of the sensibles as they are described in the Theaetetus 184-6.
