Meno

By Plato

This dialogic book will turn you into an active philosopher. You will learn to question what you think you know, expose the assumptions behind confident answers, and discover why the search for truth matters more than any conclusion. Plato's method of inquiry becomes your own.

In an age of instant answers and algorithmic certainty, we have forgotten how to be productively confused. Plato wrote the Meno around 380 BCE to dramatize a radical idea: that genuine learning begins when you realize you do not know what you thought you knew. The questions it raises about teaching, knowledge, and the nature of understanding remain unsettled.
