Synopsis
Can goodness be taught? If it can, they state, then we should be able to find teachers capable of instructing others about what is good and bad, right and wrong, or just and unjust. When Socrates and Meno are unable to identify teachers of ethics; the reader is left wondering how such knowledge can be acquired.

Plato: Menoby Anonymous

October 16, 2002: Many will say that the quintessential dialogue for understanding Plato is the Republic, and with good reason. However, for the neophyte, there is none better than the Meno. Here we see Plato's theory of Forms in its incipient stages, and learn about his odd notion that learning is remembering. Here all this is fresh and vibrant and we are eyewitnesses as Socrates stings the eponymous Meno into a realization that he does not understand virtue quite as well as he might have thought. The Meno is a great place to start understanding Plato!
