Abstract

The transition from the first to the second definition of knowledge in the Theaetetus, is a transition from sensation to doxa as judgement: the second definition does not fail insofar as doxa is conceived of as a form of sense-perception but insofar as human judgement – even in its “pure” and perception-free exercise discussed in the aviary metaphor – cannot meet the standards of infallible knowledge; the example of the jury exhibits the reason of such a failure: the judges of a court are in a position to inferentially form a correct opinion about a fact they have not witnessed to, but this is not infallible knowledge because the latter is a direct grasp of the object. Indeed, it is the directness, rather than the sensible grasp, what matters in the jury example (which clearly alludes to the theory or recollection). Perception is direct grasp, but not of the “right object”; human, embodied thought has the right object but does not have a direct hold on it, as true knowledge is supposed to have.
