Virtue in the Cave

Moral Inquiry in Plato's Meno

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

One of very few monographs devoted to Plato's Meno, this study emphasizes the interplay between its protagonists, Socrates and Meno. It interprets the Meno as Socrates' attempt to persuade his interlocutor, by every device at his disposal, of the value of moral inquiry-even though it fails to yield full-blown knowledge-and to encourage him to engage in such inquiry, insofar as it alone makes human life worth living.
