About this book
In the late 5th century BC, philosophical inquiry flourished in Athens, where thinkers like Socrates challenged conventional wisdom. In "Μένων," Plato presents a compelling dialogue that probes the essence of virtue, questioning whether it is an innate quality or a skill that can be taught. Through Socratic questioning, the text examines the relationship between knowledge and virtue, introducing the concept of recollection as a means to access innate understanding. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, "Μένων" invites readers to engage with profound philosophical dilemmas that resonate through time. Discover how this foundational work shapes our understanding of ethics and education, offering timeless insights into human nature and moral philosophy.
