Concept in Plato's epistemological and psychological theory
Anamnesis (philosophy)
In Plato's theory of epistemology, anamnesis (; Ancient Greek: ἀνάμνησις, meaning "memory") refers to the recollection of innate knowledge acquired before birth. The concept posits the claim that learning involves the act of rediscovering knowledge from within oneself. This stands in stark contrast to the opposing doctrine known as empiricism, which posits that all knowledge is derived from experience and sensory perception. Plato develops the theory of anamnesis in his Socratic dialogues: Meno, Phaedo, and Phaedrus.
