What it's about
Meno asks whether virtue can be taught, and Socrates turns the question into one about how anyone can learn anything at all. He leads a slave boy, step by step, to a geometry result he was never taught, to argue that learning is a kind of recollection, before the politician Anytus, later one of his accusers, joins the conversation. In Jowett's translation.
