The current studies on Plato's perception-theory concentrate mainly on the analysis of the
different acts performed by sense-perception. For Plato however such an analysis is indeed a
consequence of his systematic perception doctrine: Primarily he has explored the more
fundamental issues i.e. why the world in which we live is perceptible at all and which
abilities we human beings must constitutionally have to discriminate and comprehend the
perceptible objects. In this fact interpretating Plato's explanation of these questions in a
comprehensive view is the target of this research.
