Anamnesis in Plato
Keywords:
Plato, recollecton, recognitionAbstract
In the Theaetetus Plato does not speak of knowledge as anámnesis. He does this in the Meno, Phaedo and Phaedrus directly and at the end of the Republic indirectly, namely in the myth of Er. According to the idea of anámnesis, knowing is always remembering. In this way, anámnesis, knowledge as remembering, is directly grounded in myth, that is to say, in the immortality of the soul and in its contemplation of the ideas before birth.Downloads
