Resumo: In this work I examine the "impossible choice" that Socrates poses to Theaetetus: to choose between accepting (a) that false judgment is impossible, or (b) that it is possible to know and not to know the same object (Theaetetus196c7-d2). According to the traditional interpretation, Socrates states that it is necessary to accept one of the two options: (b). Consequently, Plato would develop the Aviary as a model of explanation of error in which it is possible to know and not to know the same thing. Here I argueagainst this reading. I claim that Socrates says that the two options (a) and (b) must be rejected, and, therefore, that the Aviary presents a model in which false judgment is possible without accepting that it is possible to know and not to know the samething.

De acuerdo con la interpretación tradicional, Sócrates afirma que es necesario aceptar una de las dos opciones: (b). En consecuencia, Platóndesarrollaría el Aviario como un modelo de explicación del error en el que es posible conocer y no conocer lo mismo. Aquí argumento en contra de esta lectura. Sostengo que Sócratesafirmaque se deben rechazar las dos opciones(a) y (b), y, por ende, el Aviario presenta un modelo en dondeel juicio falso es posible sin aceptar que es posible conocer y no conocer lo mismo.Cátedra UNESCO Archai (Universidade de Brasília); Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal; Annablume Editora, São Paulo, Brasil2022-10-17info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/4782610.14195/1984-249X_32_26Revista Archai; No. 32 (2022): Archai 32 (2022); e-03226Archai Journal; n. 32 (2022): Archai 32 (2022); e-032261984-249X2179-4960reponame:Revista Archai (Online)instname:Universidade de Brasília (UnB)instacron:UNBspahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/article/view/47826/36698Copyright (c) 2022 Edgar González-Varelahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEdgar González-Varela2023-04-18T15:51:27Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/47826Revistahttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archaiPUBhttps://periodicos.unb.br/index.php/archai/oai||archaijournal@unb.br|| cornelli@unb.br1984-249X1984-249Xopendoar:2023-04-18T15:51:27Revista Archai (Online) - Universidade de Brasília (UnB)false
