Acesso em: 23 dez. 2024.e- 1982-2928http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br//handle/ri/26554Thispaper explores the scope of the theses presented in Theaetetus184-6 concerning the epistemic capacity of aisthēsis. I develop two main argu-ments in this analysis. First, I situate the passage within the broader context of 151-183 and propose that the argument in 184-6 stands independently of the analysis of the Protagorean theses conducted in 151-183. Then, I analyze the traditional reading of 184-6, which holds that aisthēsislacks cognition, and contrast this perspective with that of those who argue that Plato allows for some judicative content at the sensory level. I demonstrate that both readings exaggerate the importance of Plato’s defended position in 184-6, particularly regarding the epistemic limits of perception.engAcesso Abertohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/PerceptionKnowledgeBeingJudgmentPercepçãoConhecimentoSerJuízoArtigo10.5216/phi.v29i1.78663
