Meno (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169221086)

Meno is a philosophical dialogue written by Plato, one of the most influential philosophers in Western philosophy. The dialogue takes place between Socrates and Meno, a young aristocrat who is seeking knowledge about virtue. Socrates challenges Meno's assumptions about what virtue is and whether it can be taught. Through a series of questions and arguments, Socrates leads Meno to the conclusion that knowledge of virtue is not innate, but rather must be acquired through inquiry and examination. The dialogue also explores the nature of knowledge, the difference between true belief and knowledge, and the role of reason in human affairs. Ultimately, Meno is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of knowledge and the pursuit of wisdom.MENO: Can you tell me, Socrates, whether virtue is acquired by teaching or by practice; or if neither by teaching nor by practice, then whether it comes to man by nature, or in what other way?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
