Book provided by Iason Konstantinides "Μένων" by Plato is a philosophical dialogue written in the late 5th century BC. The work primarily features Socrates and his conversation with Meno, wherein they explore the nature of virtue and whether it can be taught or if it is an innate quality. This exploration delves into fundamental questions about knowledge, understanding, and moral philosophy, establishing a critical foundation for subsequent discussions on ethics. At the start of the dialogue, Meno asks Socrates whether virtue can be taught or if it is acquired through practice or is inherent by nature. Socrates admits his own ignorance about the essence of virtue and proposes they investigate the concept together. The conversation evolves as they examine various definitions of virtue, with Meno suggesting different forms tailored to men, women, and different types of roles. This leads to a deeper inquiry into whether all virtues share a common essence or substance, and the discussion remains focused on understanding virtue's fundamental nature rather than arriving at a definitive conclusion in this opening segment.
