Synopsis

"Meno is an absorbing look at the question of human virtue. As in most of Plato's dialogues, Meno features Socrates engaging a prominent thinker and attempting to draw out the implications of his theories. The topic at hand is virtue - what is it? Is it the same for everyone? Where does it come from? In Meno, Socrates also makes the case for the immortality of the soul, and knowledge as a process of remembering that which the soul already knows. Addressing Plato's central concern of how to live a good life, Meno is an important work, presented with the humor and vibrancy that has made Plato's writing timeless.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A unique effort by Plato in which he challenges the readers to question their concepts regarding "virtue". Author himself questions his character "Meno" about virtue. The dialogue seems to stray from reason at certain points and turns towards the mystical. Reading Plato, answers many questions and exposes the framework of so many later writers of history. A classic that should be reflected upon.

Biographie de l'auteur
