Author Description

MENO (LARGE PRINT EDITION) In this timeless dialogue, Plato explores one of the oldest and deepest questions of philosophy: Can virtue be taught, or is it given by nature or bestowed by the gods? The conversation between Socrates and the young Meno begins with a simple question, yet quickly transforms into an intellectual journey in search of truth. It reveals the complexity of defining virtue and introduces one of Plato’s most celebrated ideas—the theory of recollection. In the famous scene with a slave boy, Socrates demonstrates that knowledge is already present within the soul and can be awakened through the right questions. This passage has become a cornerstone in the history of Western philosophy and education. The dialogue Meno unites ethical and epistemological inquiries: What is virtue? How is knowledge obtained? Does wisdom always lead to justice? These questions remain strikingly relevant today, giving the work its enduring power and significance. This Large Print Edition is designed for comfortable reading, allowing every reader to immerse themselves in the depth of ancient wisdom and experience the force of a dialogue that has transcended centuries.
