Meno by Plato
QR code
"Meno" by Plato is a Socratic dialogue written around 385 BC. The work begins with a simple question: Can virtue be taught? As Socrates and his young interlocutor Meno pursue this inquiry, they encounter profound puzzles about the nature of knowledge itself. How can we search for what we don't know? Why is knowledge more valuable than true belief? Through dialectical exchange and a famous geometric demonstration with a slave, Plato explores
recollection, learning, and the immortality of the soul. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
