Meno by Plato is a philosophical dialogue that explores the nature of virtue and knowledge. The dialogue begins with Meno asking Socrates whether virtue can be taught, to which Socrates responds by questioning what virtue is. Through a series of questions and answers, Socrates leads Meno to the conclusion that virtue is knowledge. However, this raises the question of how one can acquire this knowledge. Socrates suggests that it must be through recollection, as the soul already possesses all knowledge but needs to be reminded of it. The dialogue then turns to a discussion of geometry, in which Socrates demonstrates his method of inquiry and shows how one can arrive at true knowledge through questioning and reasoning. Ultimately, Meno leaves with a deeper understanding of the nature of knowledge and virtue while also recognising the limitations of his own understanding.

       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...
