'Meno' is a Socratic dialogue primarily concerned with the question of whether virtue can be taught.
Meno initially proposes several definitions of virtue, which Socrates refutes, leading Meno to express his famous paradox: If one doesn't know what virtue is, how can one inquire into it?
Socrates addresses this paradox by introducing the theory of recollection, suggesting that learning is actually remembering what the soul already knows.
The dialogue explores the nature of knowledge, belief, and how true opinions can guide right action.
Ultimately, 'Meno' raises profound questions about epistemology and moral understanding.
