あらすじ・解説
Plato's Meno primarily explores the question of whether virtue can be taught. Socrates and Meno engage in a discussion that examines various definitions of virtue, ultimately concluding that it is neither innate nor learned but rather a divinely bestowed gift. The text also introduces Plato's theory of reminiscence, suggesting that learning is a process of recollecting pre-existing knowledge from a past life. Finally, a substantial section analyzes Plato's theory of Forms, comparing it to the philosophical approaches of later thinkers.
