Description

Book Synopsis
Plato’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.
