Klappentext
For a relatively short dialogue, Plato's Meno covers an astonishingly wide array of topics. Politics, education, virtue, and the immortality of the soul, are all given a profound but tantalizingly brief treatment, leaving many unresolved questions. In a new departure, this book confronts the many enigmas that face readers of the Meno by focusing on the dialogue in its own right and not merely on it within the context of Plato's other dialogues. In so doing, it offers new insights that are both lucid and sympathetic to Plato's philosophy.

Zusammenfassung
In a new departure, this book's exploration of Plato's Meno focuses primarily on the content and coherence of the dialogue in its own right and not merely in the context of other dialogues, making it required reading for all students of Plato, be they from the world of classics or philosophy.
