Title: "Who Knows?"
Platonic epistemology is traditionally dominated by his metaphysics of forms; but in this respect it is in some tension with his account of the value and significance of being the knowing subject: his account of epistemic virtue. I explore his reflections on how we become epistemically virtuous to explain his singular account of knowledge and understanding.
