Meno($7.00Value)

Description

"Meno" is one of Plato's early dialogues in which Socrates discusses virtue with Meno, a young Thessalian nobleman. The dialogue explores the nature of virtue, whether it can be taught, and how one can acquire it. Through a series of probing questions, Socrates guides Meno to a deeper understanding of knowledge and the theory of recollection, suggesting that learning is essentially an act of remembering what the soul already knows. This philosophical text delves into the complexities of ethical inquiry and epistemology. Plato (c. 428/427 – 348/347 BCE) was a classical Greek philosopher, a student of Socrates, and the teacher of Aristotle. He founded the Academy in Athens, one of the earliest institutions of higher learning in the Western world. Plato's works, including "The Republic," "Phaedo," and "Symposium," are foundational texts in Western philosophy. Benjamin Jowett (1817-1893) was an English classical scholar, theologian, and translator. He served as Master of Balliol College, Oxford, and is renowned for his translations of Plato's works into English, making them accessible to a wider audience. His translations are celebrated for their clarity and fidelity to the original texts.
