Meno

"Meno" by Plato is a philosophical discussion where the characters try to figure out what virtue is and if it can be taught. The story starts with a young man named Meno asking Socrates if people can learn to be virtuous. As they talk, Meno gives different ideas about what virtue means, but Socrates shows problems with each one. They realize it's hard to give one definition for virtue, and they begin to wonder if learning is actually just remembering things our souls already know. The story shows how Socrates teaches by asking questions, leading both characters to new understandings about virtue, knowledge, and how people learn.
