Μένων by Plato
"Μένων" by Plato is a Socratic dialogue written around 385 BC. The work explores fundamental questions about virtue: Can it be taught, practiced, or does it come naturally? When Socrates and Meno struggle to define virtue itself, they encounter the famous "Meno's Paradox"—how can one search for something they don't know? Socrates responds with his theory of recollection, demonstrating it through a geometric puzzle posed to a slave, suggesting all learning is
remembering what the soul already knows. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
