Document Summary
Socrates has no knowledge on what virtue is. Tell me what virtue is and then i"ll tell you whether it can be taught. How can i know what the characteristics are without knowing what it is. What is an acceptable response? (what can meno say or do that will provide socrates with an answer) Doesn"t confuse it with instances or examples of it. Shouldn"t be circular (shouldn"t appeal to the term virtue(cid:874) Can"t answer a question about a topic if you don"t know what the topic is. If you don"t know what something is with so many limitations. Limits the amount of other questions you can ask. Concepts can be relative to the person. Can never get a correct, absolute truth or answer because there is no such thing. There is a satisfying answering because it is inside you. Actually unlimited because it opens up lots more questions. Wouldn"t have an infinite regress with the theory of recollection.
