Reseña del editor:

This 1961 edition of Plato's Meno was originally edited by R. S. Bluck, Senior Lecturer in Greek at the University of Manchester. Its value lies in the incredibly extensive preliminary chapters provided by Bluck, designed to truly enhance the reader's engagement with this ancient text. In almost 150 pages of introductory chapters, Bluck reviews the argument of the Meno, its relation to wider philosophical and dialogues (written both before and after Plato), and summarises Plato's use of the hypothetical method in the Meno, the Phaedo and the Republic. He also provides a detailed synopsis of Plato's Meno before presenting the full Greek text, accompanied by a wide-ranging and incredibly accessible commentary. Finally, Bluck presents the reader with indices in both English and Greek, ensuring that this volume remains an endlessly rewarding reference and research work.

Reseña del editor:

In this classic Socratic dialogue from Plato, Socrates converses with Meno about how to define arête, or virtue. The dialogue is significant for introducing Meno’s paradox, which concerns the absurdity of an inquiry on any subject matter about which the inquirer knows nothing. Including Platonic notions as to the immortality of the soul and the nature of truth and knowledge, Meno remains one a valuable and stimulating work that still manages to perplex students of philosophy to this day.
