Alfred North Whitehad is famous for having said that the European philosophical tradition consists in a series of footnotes to Plato; he explains, that Plato's writing is "an inexhaustible mine of suggestion" (1929: 39).   In this spirit, we will mine Plato’s works for suggestions in epistemology, i.e., the study of knowledge and its objects—Plato’s epistemology can hardly be pried apart from his metaphysics.  We will consider the metaphysical nature of Plato’s Forms given their roles as objects of knowledge, universals (or properties, or perfect particulars, or…), causes, ideals, and what is most real.  In addition to the Forms themselves, we will examine predication and participation:  the relationship between sensible particulars, sensible properties and the Forms.  We will look at the famous third man regresses of the Parmenides, Plato’s approach to non-Being, and the apparent deficiency of the sensible world in comparison to the intelligible.  In tandem, we will consider what Plato says about knowledge in contrast to mere belief, knowledge as justified true belief, learning as recollection, how far we find knowledge by acquaintance and by description, logical atomism, error, and whether Plato can be considered a coherentist.  Readings will include Plato’s Meno, Phaedo, Symposium, Timaeus, Parmenides, Republic, Theaetetus, and Sophist, along with secondary literature (both commentaries and articles).
