Offers an account of Plato's epistemology. This title places Plato's preoccupation in historical perspective, without belittling the intrinsic difficulties of the problems he tackled.
"A complete and unified account of Plato's epistemology . scholarly, historically sensitive, and philosophically sophisticated. Above all it is sensible. White's strength is that he places Plato's preoccupation in careful historical perspective, without belittling the intrinsic difficulties of the problems he tackled. White's project is to find a continuous argument running through Plato's various attacks on epistemological problems. No summary can do justice to his remarkable success." --Ronald B. De Sousa, University of Toronto, in Phoenix
