| Mar 18, 2018 at 14:31 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | Plato's Meno, 71b3 : "And I myself, Meno, [...] have to reproach myself with an utter ignorance about virtue; and if I do not know what a thing is, how can I know what its nature may be?" | |

| Mar 18, 2018 at 14:13 | comment | added | Mauro ALLEGRANZA | Are you sure about it ? Socrates asserts that he do not know what virtue is, he is not able to give a satisfying definition of virtue. He asserts : ‘If I don’t know what something is, how would I know what it’s like?’ We can read it as a contraposition to the Sophists who promoted themselves as "teachers". | |
