In this article I will study the fundamental characteristics and properties of Plato's “remembrance” in Meno. In my opinion, Plato uses “remembrance” to refute this argument: “whether people know or do not know, there is no need to discover.” He believes that there is a state between “not knowing” and “knowing”, he calls it “forgetting”. Therefore, when people learn or discover, they only remember things that they have already forgotten. Typically, when people learn, they reach a state of understanding by learning something they consider they do not know. However, this common sense contains a very irrational factor, that is, if a person has no idea about something that exists, then for that person, those kinds of things don't exist, so they don't There will be no desire to acquire such things. things, then this person cannot behave as a discovery or learning. If a person feels a desire for something, they must already have known it in the past, one way or another. Only then will it make sense. Now, when people learn, common sense consists of learning, of discovering things that they do not know, in other words, because they do not know, they precisely need to learn. But how do you learn, discover something that people don't know? People learn or discover, but they don't know what they learn or discover, it's impossible. And again, if people already know what they are discovering or learning, they don't need to learn or discover. In this way, people know or do not know what they are learning or discovering, learning and discovering being impossible or useless. The essential starting point that Plato proposes to "remember" in Meno is to refute this argument about learning...... middle of paper......, "right opinions" about all things are inherent . Even the slave who received no education after birth can have a "good opinion", so others can have it too. Moreover, the “right opinion” is not only inherent, but also it does not matter who is able to remember it. To acquire this kind of “good opinion” again on their own, sometimes based on different people or things, they will need outside help. However, regardless of the type of help used, "remembering" always consists of remembering oneself, others cannot substitute for one's own memory. These are the fundamental characteristics and properties of “memory” in Meno.Works CitedPlato. “Meno.” Grube., GMA Five Dialogues. Indianapolis: Hackett Publishing Company, Inc., 2002. 58-92.
