Dialog Theaitétos náleží svou formou mezi tak řečené nepřímé dialogy. Ale není vypravován, jako tomu bývá u jiných dialogů toho druhu, nýbrž čten. V úvodním a jakoby rámcovém hovoru, konaném v Megaře, vypravuje Eukleidés Terpsiónovi, jak se dověděl o Sókratově rozmluvě s Theaitétem a jak si ji v zjednodušené formě zapsal... Tématem dialogu je otázka "co je to vědění (epistémé)", nalézá se v něm také slavná digrese, která se zabývá povahou schólé.
