A dialogue between Socrates and Meno probes the subject of ethics. Can goodness be taught? If it can, then we should be able to find teachers capable of instructing others about what is good and bad, right and wrong, or just and unjust.

Socrates and Meno are unable to identify teachers of ethics, and we are left wondering how such knowledge could be acquired. To answer that puzzle, Socrates questions one of Meno's servants in an attempt to show that we know fundamental ideas by recollecting them.

Ray Child’s is by far my favorite narrator of the Platonic dialogues. His Socrates is very convincing and makes you feel like your in ancient Athens.

Socrates guides us through an obstacle course on our path to wisdom

This is a good plain english version in actor form. Each part has a voice and it explains the dialogue very well.

The dialogue between Plato & Meno and the inflection in their voices was engaging! I’ve listened to it several times and love the reasoning and insight of questioning as a means of getting to the root of the question:
What is goodness?

Great recording!

This dialogue is NOT complete. It stops when Anytus enters the ONGOING conversation. Very frustrating.

Not Complete

Incomplete, dialogue stops half way through Meno just as Anytus enters the scene, how could this be released in this form? Look elsewhere for better version.
