Menon

null
Book •
'Meno' is a dialogue by Plato that explores the nature of virtue and whether it can be taught.

The dialogue begins with Meno posing the question of whether virtue is acquired through teaching, practice, or nature.

Socrates responds by questioning Meno's understanding of virtue itself, leading to a discussion of the nature of knowledge and learning.

Socrates introduces the theory of recollection, suggesting that learning is actually the process of recalling knowledge that the soul possessed before birth.

'Meno' raises fundamental questions about epistemology, ethics, and the nature of inquiry.
