So far, this is the dialogue I enjoyed the least. The focus is ‘What is Knowledge?’ and supposedly this is one of the great foundations of epistemology, but I found the majority of this dialogue redundant and the arguments circular (or using the opposite/binary technique Socrates relies on so heavily) and I didn’t find it convincing. Better luck next dialogue.

My congratulations to you for finishing this. I'm suffering ancient philosopher fatigue, I don't think I can crack another volume of preserved meanderings. s

Thanks! When i realized I only had 4 more dialogues until I’m done with Plato I asked myself whether I’m ready to move on to Aristotles complete works or should I give myself a break. Let’s see how the last 4 go! I still need to get through Laws which I’m iffy about.
The only Plato I've read is The Republic. The only Aristotle is Nichomachean Ethics. I just can't take it no more. A bridge too far. An impossible dream. Please take good notes and report back in as concise and readable a format as possible?
