The "Meno" begins abruptly with a question of Meno, who asks, 'whether virtue can be taught.' Socrates replies that he does not as yet know what virtue is, and has never known anyone who did. 'Then he cannot have met Gorgias when he was at Athens.' Yes, Socrates had met him, but he has a bad memory, and has forgotten what Gorgias said. Will Meno tell him his own notion, which is probably not very different from that of Gorgias? 'O yes-nothing easier there is the virtue of a man, of a woman, of an old man, and of a child; there is a virtue of every age and state of life, all of which may be easily described.' Here is presented the classic introduction and translation of Benjamin Jowett.

Meno [with Biographical Introduction] edition by Plato Benjamin Jowett Politics Social Sciences eBooks

An interesting look at what virtue is, and whether or not it can be taught. Plato places his mentor Socrates in the "driver's seat" of this conversation with Meno, one of his students. They discuss virtue, and the fact that A virtue is not the same as virtue itself. Socrates/Plato then continues on to debunk the idea that merit based on fighting skill/willingness, good judgment, or any of the other Greek notions of virtue are actually virtuous. This book gives insight into Greek thought and culture as it becomes a point for thought in this day and age. What, exactly, is virtue?

This particular edition has a lot of room on each side to enter notes and is a very readable and understandable translation of the original.

Meno [with Biographical Introduction] edition by Plato Benjamin Jowett Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews

Great book. Perfect and exactly what i was looking for for my philosophy class. THank you! Excellent Used condition. Loved how every now and then it had main points highlighted. Helped alot to explan the overall meaning of the text.
Helping me study ancient Greek!
For a free copy, this is a nice one. However, if you are looking for Stephanus numbers, or standard pagination, this is not a good one for you.
I purchased this for a college course as it was not available in the campus bookstore. When I received it I was a bit upset as it does not have numbered lines, like most copies of this do. I found a way to make it work, but it required a lot of extra work on my part. I couldn't send it back because we received such short notice to get it.
Just as described. Thank you!
I couldn’t understand any of it. Didn’t make any sense to me.
patience is needed for the content of this Socrates dialogue.
you need patience for anything Socrates.
Amazing content.
Very nice and affordable edition
