| Summary: | This study examines Plato’s use of paradigms in the Statesman, focusing on the paradigm of
weaving. The basic thesis of the study is that Plato’s use of paradigms to assist with the
process of division was motivated by an epistemological limitation indicated by the aporetic
conclusion of the Theaetetus and that paradigms are used to address this limitation due their
greater pre-dialectical doxastic alacrity. |
