What a wonderful lecture! Rigorous, close to the text, but also humorous. In addition to which is appears to be delivered spontaneously, without the aid of notes. The professor's students are lucky. I hope she posts some more of these.
Reality = That which is. Knowledge = The portion of Reality that is known experientially. Understanding = Knowing how to apply the knowledge learned from experience to experience. Wisdom = Competent application of Knowledge (expertise, excellence). The Word of Truth is ever faithful (loyal, true, isomorphic) to Reality (That which is).
As far as I can tell, and it’s been a while since I’ve read this dialogue, Plato is demonstrating that you can’t have knowledge without the Forms. Towards the beginning they says something about there being no “self-existent” entities. This is a phrase that refers to that which is independent or a Form, or the One from the Parmenides.
Thank you. Clear and entertaining. Have you done a video about "forms"? Personally, I learn philosophy best when presented with daily life examples to which I can relate.
To me this question opens up a lot more questions, what is knowledge? What are humans? Why do we have brains? What is language? Where did the words come from? What is insanity? What makes a word a word? And who the hell are we to say what knowledge is? Were only talking about ourselves in the end
I'd like to steal the most of the definition of knowledge from the theory of systems. So, there's a system and there's information about said system that is to have. The information includes info on each subsystem and each element of the system, mechanics of their interactions and their current state. Taken completely, the information helps us to predict a state of the system at any given moment. Then, knowledge of a system is the set of of pieces of this information that we have - it is never 100% and it is in most cases >0%. Then, a truth is a such set of information that gives us the ability to correctly predict the state of the system at some particular moment.
Great lecture. I think the problem though is that, as you mentioned early on, that people today will have in mind neuroscience. Phenomenologically speaking, that sort of assumption or axiomatic stance will corral our thinking. In fact, Plato criticizes empiricism when he says to theaetetus: - - - - - - - “SOCRATES: take a look around and see that none of the uninitiated are listening. Now, by the uninitiated I mean the people who believe in nothing but what they can grasp in their hands, and who will not allow that action or generation or anything invisible can have real existence. THEAETETUS: Yes, indeed Socrates, they are very hard and impenetrable mortals. SOCRATES: Yeeess, my boy, utter barbarians. - - - - - - So, Plato, having been aware of knowing by way of the senses, wouldn’t think that the answer to the question, “what us knowledge?”, can be derived empirically. For example, in a Wheaton college lecture with a professor doing a lecture on Edmund husserl; he points out that there’s a subject-object distinction. And intentionality IS the hypen. Thus, knowing is an intentional act. And phenomenology is not inductive but comes by some other way. It’s all very interesting to say the least.

Hi! I did not use a script for my commentary, but the Theaetetus is widely available online in many languages as it is in the public domain. I would recommend checking out the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy or the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy if you're seeking an initial commentary. Good luck!
Knowledge is something you know that doesn't rely on belief or opinion to be true. By definition Knowledge is something that belongs to you but that seems to be a contradiction because we are ego and the ego is born of belief and opinion, subjective thought. An example would be, we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. Nobody believes that. What made Socrates the wisest of all was he knew he didn't know which was the acknowledgement that the self and the selfless self are separate....
6:55 is actually false. There's no way you seeing a boat is me seeing an island rather it is ALWAYS the case for me that when YOU see a boat you for sure see a boat. And if it is TRUE and it is KNOWLEDGE for YOU that you see a boat then it s also true and it is also knowledge for me that you truly possess knowledge of true boat...🤷♂️
Great job, Professor. Best collaboration of conciseness and clarity. Because this is not easy to explain. Well done.
This video could be 4 videos or 5, I’d love it dissected even more with visuals. Great job!

Really brilliant video, you speak about such a complex work so clearly. Thanks Professor!
This has been enlightening. I've seen many videos and many texts as well but nothing explains the topic as clear as in here. Thank you 👍🏿
Simply wonderful! 👏🏻 Indeed, truth is _always_ objective. I’ll definitely listen to more of your lectures here on RUclips. 😃

Ty, hard subject to think through, let alone put into words, describe. Good job!.

Where does desire come from

Knowledge is power
You are good
Thank you mam, for sharing this. If you have pdf could you please share with me?

@@professorohatvassar1274 thank you ma'am for suggesting.

And that brings us to Wisdom, the true teacher, the feminine principle of our Creator. Man has his own form of wisdom but they are all lacking.
( REHAB TIME! ) KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS DIVORCED FROM JUSTICE MAY BEE CALLED CUNNING RATHER THAN WISDOM. FACTS OVA FEELINGS!
🥰🥀❣️
(FACTS OVA FEELINGS). Knowledge is Useless if it is Not Applied and to Achieve the Goal One Desire is Not Enough EU Ollso NEED TO ACT
