Plutarch preserves Plato’s supposed claim that God “continually” practices this discipline, which is often cited to link Plato to this discipline’s “sacred” form. Socrates discusses knowledge with the title student of this discipline in the Theaetetus (“thee-ay-TEE-tuss”). Legendarily, an inscription above the Academy warned, “Let no one ignorant of [this discipline] enter here.” The Timaeus links each of the classical elements to an object studied in this discipline. Socrates uses a problem in this discipline to explain his idea of inborn knowledge, or anamnesis, to a slave in the Meno. A philosopher best known for naming a statement in this discipline led a vegetarian commune and was from Samos. For 10 points, Plato names five regular, convex polyhedra studied in what mathematical discipline? ■END■
