Question
The dialogue named for this man anticipates the binding problem by imagining sense data sitting like soldiers in the Trojan horse. Socrates tells this man a “dream theory” holding that “primary elements” can be named but not described, which Philosophical Investigations notes as a precursor of logical atomism. This man “sits” and “flies” in predication examples that Donald Davidson borrowed from The Sophist, which takes place a day after his namesake dialogue and stars him opposite the Eleatic (“el-ee-AT-ic”) Stranger. This snub-nosed mathematician describes his work on irrational magnitudes in a dialogue in which Socrates reduces his proposed “perception”-based definition to the theory of flux. The dialogue titled for this man ends by rejecting a theory of “true belief with an account.” For 10 points, what man titles a Platonic dialogue about knowledge? ■END■
