In the first part of the Theaetetus (151 e–186 e), Plato considers three theses: Theaetetus’ claim that knowledge is perception (T) (151 e 1–3); Protagoras’ measure doctrine (P), according to which ‘man is the measure of all things, of those that are that they are, and of those that are not that they are not’ (Tht. 152 a 2–4);1 and Heracleitus’ claim (H) that ‘all things change, like streams’ (160 d 7–8).2 These theses are not considered in isolation; on the contrary, Plato takes them to be intimately connected. There is considerable dispute, however, both about the precise content of each of the theses and about how they are connected (both in fact and in Plato’s view). These two disputes are related. For we can know how the three theses are connected only if we know what each of them says.
