In this article, I will examine Plato's idea that "virtue is knowledge" to understand "can virtue be taught." In my opinion, Plato does not strictly prove that “virtue is knowledge”; rather, he believes that “virtue is a gift from God.” “Can virtue be taught? This is the question Plato attempts to answer in Meno. This problem is important and serious, because its answer directly concerns the question of how we understand and position education. The reason Plato asks this question has to do with his opposition to the wise. It is well known that in the time of Socrates and Plato, certain wise men advocated “virtue can be taught” to recruit a large number of young clients. They take money out of their pockets; I hope that the wise can teach them virtue. However, from the perspective of Plato and Socrates, this kind of behavior ruins people's virtue. Therefore, to criticize these sages, they must refute “virtue can be taught.” Before Meno, Plato pondered “can virtue be taught” in Protagoras. In this dialogue, Plato chooses Protagoras as Socrates' opponent. The intention is obvious: if sages like Protagoras cannot provide a sufficient and strong argument that “virtue can be taught,” then it is doubtful whether sages would advocate “virtue can be taught.” taught". It is only to question "virtue can be taught", Protagoras cannot be considered a failure. For in this dialogue, except in one or two places the demands that Socrates proposes to Protagoras seem quite unreasonable, even a little inconsiderate (Plato, Protagoras, 2002, pp. 27-31, 334c-338e), most of the time, Protagoras does not succeed in convincing Socrates. he argument that "virtue can be taught" seems doubtful, in the dialogue Socrates was not able to pre...... middle of paper ...... his way of thinking almost all; Plato's dialogues do not transcend this limitation Limited to the way of thinking, Plato always tries to find a common definition of the concept and, according to the definition, begins to analyze and discuss. he also pays attention to the semantic concept of language, but he did not realize that the linguistic system itself is an organic whole and inseparable from human practice, the concept of universal knowledge and understanding cannot be separated from it. holding a special section. Thus, in Meno, he rejects the virtue of a particular section. a special category of discussion on the issue is inappropriate. Works Cited Plato. (2002, In G.
