The nature of virtue and the method of learning are both topics covered in the conversation. It gets its name from Meno, a young and aspirational aristocrat from Thessaly who serves as the story's protagonist. Socrates and Meno have a discussion in which they analyze different beliefs and definitions of virtue via a series of perceptive exchanges and philosophical inquiries. The conversation digs into issues including the essence of goodness, how knowledge differs from opinion, and the idea of intrinsic knowledge. The \"Meno's Paradox,\" which asks Socrates if it is possible to seek knowledge when one does not already know what one is searching for, is one of the most well-known passages in the debate. Due to this contradiction, Socrates explains his idea of anamnesis, which contends that all knowledge is inherent and may be recalled via questioning and research. \"Meno\" provides a look into Plato's philosophical approach and his pursuit of discovering fundamental truths via deductive reasoning. As one of Plato's key conversations that influenced the development of Western philosophy, it is still researched and dissected today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plato\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9789358590005\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022-04-22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21.6 x 14.0 x 1.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs Meno available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the paperback edition of \u003cem\u003eMeno\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote Meno?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeno is written by Plato.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
