Theaet. It would be a strange boldness in me which would attempt the task
when I see you thus discomfited.

Str. Say no more of ourselves; but until we find some one or other who can
speak of not-being without number, we must acknowledge that the Sophist is a
clever rogue who will not be got out of his hole.

"The first European thinker who seems to have discussed our present problem
was Plato, in a too-much neglected passage of the Theaetatus, namely
knowledge is True Opinion, answers that his great difficulty has often been
to see how any opinion can possibly be false.  The conclusion reached by
Plato is no very definite one, but the discussion is deeply suggestive.  And
we cannot do better here than to pray that the shade of the mighty Greek may
deign to save us now in our distress and to show us that true nature of
error."
