Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This is an English translation of Meno, a Socratic dialogue by Plato, attempting to achieve a definition of virtue that applies equally to all particular virtues. It serves as a great introduction to Socratic dialogues.

The book contains a short introduction, notes, standard Stephanus numbers, speech numbers, and an appendix containing a unique gallery of step-by-step geometrical diagrams. It also includes illustrations, a bibliography, and a glossary.

Focus Philosophical Library translations are close to, and non-interpretative of, the original text. The notes and glossary aim to provide the reader with some sense of the terms and the concepts as they were understood by Plato's immediate audience.
