What if the key to greatness was already hidden inside you-waiting to be remembered?

In this fresh, reader-friendly translation of Plato's Meno, the Socratic method crackles with new energy. Meno storms onto the scene demanding quick answers; Socrates responds with probing questions that expose the hollow pride of easy knowledge and invite us on a deeper quest. Their lively exchange introduces the puzzles that still animate ethics, education, and cognitive science today.

What You'll Discover in This Modern Edition:

  • The Paradox That Launched Epistemology - Follow step-by-step commentary on how Socrates turns certainty into doubt-and doubt into enlightenment.
  • The Theory of Recollection Explained - Accessible notes illuminate the famous geometry demonstration and its implications for innate knowledge.
  • Virtue in the Real World - Sidebars connect ancient arguments to modern debates on character education, moral psychology, and leadership.
  • Practical Study Tools - Clear section headings, scene summaries, discussion questions, and a glossary of key Greek terms empower first-time readers and seasoned thinkers alike.
  • A Bridge to the Larger Platonic Corpus - Cross-references show how Meno foreshadows Phaedo, Republic, and Apology, making this an ideal gateway to classical philosophy.
  • Whether you are a student seeking clarity, a teacher crafting lessons, or a lifelong learner chasing wisdom, Meno invites you to join Socrates on the ultimate pursuit: discovering how we learn to live well.
