Abstract

This North American edition of the Theaetetus contains a revision of the Levett translation, first published in 1928; a brief analysis of the dialogue by Levett, added to the 1977 reissue; a lengthy introduction by Burnyeat, an attempt to meet Gilbert Ryle's prescription that an introduction should be provided "to bring out the continuing relevance of Plato's dialogue to present-day philosophical studies" ; and a select bibliography of further reading.
