Summary/Abstract: The research project is presented in three phases. The introduction gives a brief abbreviation of the positions on the problem of Good within Plato's metaphysics. The second part introduces the therm θέα, defines its semantic field in a broader sense, and explains its role in the system of Plato's philosophy. Here we try to show that through the meaning of this concept we come to the central moments of the doctrine. Consequently, θέα proves to be an integral part of Plato's system. In the third part, in the historical-philosophical sense, the content of the concept θέα is considered. Based on the given analyzes, this research seeks to provide a certain novelty in terms of the exegesis of Plato's texts, and this primarily refers to the approach to the problem of Good. Instead of frequent ontological treatment here we offer an epistemological angle in understanding. The results of the research indicate the closeness between the dominant religious institutions of antiquity (the Cult of Eleusis) and the speculative system of Plato's metaphysics.
