Grabowski is on firmer ground when the analysis turns to the Platonic

dialogues themselves. The evidence cited for an acquaintance mode of

knowledge is Plato's frequent use of direct-objection constructions

with verbs of knowing and the recurrent metaphor of the senses as the

way one acquires knowledge. Scrutinizing the terms

gignw/skein, ei)de/nai, and

e)pi/stasthai in the Theaetetus, Meno, Republic and

other dialogues, Grabowski argues that propositional knowledge did not

appeal to Plato, thereby leaving him with the choice that knowledge is

derived from words alone (which is rejected) or by direct experience

(the acquaintance mode of knowledge). Grabowski continues his

philological analysis with a look at du/namis in the

Phaedrus and Republic as the power or faculty to bring knowledge or

knowing into a person's mind. But this faculty of the mind for

Grabowski is not just a metaphorical way of speaking about knowledge;

it is literally an organ or power that directly touches the Forms for

knowledge.
