Abstract :In this study, the epistemological approach of Plato is examined through his distinction between episteme and doxa. In this investigation, it is aimed to explain the theory of ideas, which is the concept that whenever a scholar studies on Plato, and their relations with the particulars. In our research, without ignoring the role and the place of the theory of ideas, we tried to understand the concept of doxa in his epistemology.In Theaitetos, which is his one of thelater dialogues. Plato attempted to answer the question what the knowledge is without using the theory of ideas. By using these data, we could say that Plato shows us what the knowledge is not rather than what it is.
Keywords : Plato, episteme, doxa, knowledge, ideas, particulars
