Description

Plato's Protagoras and Meno is a thought-provoking exploration of goodness and knowledge. In these two dialogues, Plato presents a lively battle of minds between Socrates and the sophist Protagoras, as well as a humbling encounter between Socrates and a young aristocrat. Through their conversations, Plato sets out the idea that all human learning may be the recovery of knowledge already possessed by our immortal souls. Penguin Classics has long been a leading publisher of classic literature, with a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. This edition of Protagoras and Meno features authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. With 176 pages of engaging philosophical dialogue, this paperback edition is an accessible introduction to Plato's most enjoyable and accessible works.
