«Ménon» is Plato's philosophical dialogue, published by Flammarion in paperback (352 pages, in French).
In this dialogue, Socrates converses with Meno, a young Thessalian nobleman, about the nature of virtue and whether it can be taught. The debate leads to the paradox of learning what one does not know and to the theory of recollection: knowing is remembering what the soul already contemplated; the scene of the slave discovering geometry illustrates this.
French edition from the GF Flammarion collection, with translation, introduction and notes by Monique Canto-Sperber; complete text.
Recommended for readers of classical philosophy and humanities students.
Plato was an ancient Greek philosopher of Classical Athens who is most commonly considered the foundational thinker of the Western philosophical tradition. An innovator of the literary dialogue and dialectic forms, Plato influenced all the major areas of theoretical philosophy and practical philosophy, and was the founder of the Academy, a philosophical school in Athens where Plato taught the collection of philosophical theories that would later become known as Platonism.
