Plato's Problem
![](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/Plato.png?width=300)
Plato's Problem is the term given by Noam Chomsky to the gap between knowledge and experience. It presents the question of how we account for our knowledge when environmental conditions seem to be an insufficient source of information. It is used in linguistics to refer to the ""argument from poverty of the stimulus"" (APS). In a more general sense, Plato's Problem refers to the problem of explaining a ""lack of input"". Solving Plato's Problem involves explaining the gap between what one knows and the apparent lack of substantive input from experience (the environment). Plato's Problem is most clearly illustrated in the Meno dialogue, in which Socrates demonstrates that an uneducated boy nevertheless understands geometric principles.
