Description
Book SynopsisPlato’s
Meno occupies a transitional position between the early Socratic dialogues and the developed middle period theory of the
Phaedo,
Symposium and
Republic. It is thus of particular interest for the insights that it gives us into the process by which Plato arrived at that theory. Greek text with facing translation, introduction and commentary.
