This dissertation is an interpretation of Plato's Timaeus and Critias an inquiry into his notion of opinion. I interpret Plato as posing the problem of opinion in the Timaeus and Critias, thoroughly exploring the problem, and leaving traces of its solution. In the first chapter, I show how the problem of opinion emerges in the Timaeus and Critias as a problem of opinion's nature and its relations to knowledge and reality. In the second chapter, to determine the full nature and extent of the problem of opinion and the significance of Plato's treatment of it in the Timaeus and Critias, I consider opinion's appearance in the rest of Plato's works. In the third chapter, I review the elements of a possible solution to the problem of opinion in the Timaeus and Critias' accounts of opinion; their accounts of opinion's ostensible object, becoming; and their various depictions of opining. In the fourth chapter, I develop a theory of opinion on the basis of Plato's treatment of the problem of opinion in the Timaeus and Critias . I conclude that the Timaeus and Critias may be regarded as Plato's critical works on opinion and that a key to understanding them and to solving the problem of opinion Plato poses with them and all his works lies in a distinction one must draw between opinion as a single cognitional act or some incomplete, disordered set of distinct kinds of cognitional acts and opinion as a complete, ordered set of distinct kinds of cognitional acts. I explore the epistemological and metaphysical ramifications of this possible solution to Plato's problem of opinion and consider the likelihood that Plato had arrived at it or something like it.
