Plato distinguished between reliable, unchanging understanding and unreliable, fleeting understanding. What did he consider the reliable, unchanging understanding?

Plato considered the reliable, unchanging understanding to be True knowledge (episteme). He distinguished this from mere opinion (doxa), which he saw as unreliable and fleeting, based on sensory experience. True knowledge, for Plato, was eternal and grasped through reason.
