Was ist Wissen? Dies ist die grundlegende Frage, die Platon in dem Dialog "Theätet" verhandelt. Um diese so gewichtige Frage philosophisch zu diskutieren, lässt Platon seinen Sokrates mit dem Mathematiker Theodoros und dessen Schüler Theätet zusammentreffen.

The original Latin name of this important essay by Seneca, written around 60 CE, was De Beneficiis, which is why it is generally translated as ‘On Benefits'.

"400 Quotes from Little-known Philosophers" is a collection of thoughts, observations, and reflections made by those that history hasn’t chosen for the Big League.

Medieval philosophy is primarily associated today with university-based disputations and the authorities cited in those disputations.
