Meno begins with Meno's question of whether virtue can be taught. This is the main theme of the entire dialogue. They both try to answer this question, but in the end it doesn't seem like they both find the exact answer. But at least they know what they don't know. The conversation between Meno and Socrates is about what exactly virtue means and whether it can be taught to other people. Meno thinks he knows what virtue is at the beginning of the dialogue, but when Socrates begins to ask him questions, Meno realizes that he does not know what virtue is and cannot teach it to Socrates. After this, Meno begins to understand what virtue is by asking the question: how can one try to find something even if he does not know what he is looking for? This is Meno's paradox. This is important because the paradox shows that without knowing what we are looking for; asking questions would make no sense. Even if one can find an answer, it is not certain that he knows it. This is simply suggesting that one can find answers if they know their question. With this knowledge he can obtain true belief. Plato's theory of knowledge is reminiscence. For Plato, our souls are immortal and lived before our birth. Therefore, they have acquired a lot of knowledge, so we do not obtain knowledge through learning. We already know the knowledge of something. We just remember it. Socrates believes that knowledge is much better than true belief. He uses the slave boy to prove his knowledge. He calls one of Meno's slaves to show him that even this slave boy has no knowledge, he can remember it. Socrates begins to ask the young slave a geometric question. For each wrong answer, Socrates asks him another question to lead him to the correct answer...... middle of paper...... is not. Meno's paradox is significant because we cannot search for what we already know since we know it and there is no need to search again. This is also important because if you don't know what you're looking for, then you can't find what you're looking for. So there is no need to look for it since you don't know it. When they conclude their conversation, they still do not know what virtue is or whether it can be taught with certainty. Socrates' reasons for knowledge give Meno a good lesson that knowledge is more important than true belief. Of course, true beliefs are as important as knowledge, but they are confused with the theory of recollection. Therefore, for Socrates, knowledge is ultimately better than true belief. In the end, Socrates teaches Meno that what virtue is is not and therefore his question about what virtue is is answered in some cases..
