Plato's Meno in Focus

Plato'sMenoin Focusbrings together in one volume an English translation of the text, a selection of illuminating articles on themes in the dialogue published between 1965 and 1985 and an introduction which sets theMenoin its historical context and opens up the key philosophical issues discussed in the various articles. Many of the articles have until now been available only in the most highly specialized libraries. This translation is especially designed to preserve more consistency in its Greek terms than other translations, providing a highly reliable reflection of the details in the original text. Within the articles, Greek words and phrases are often accompanied or replaced in this volume by a translation. A glossary introduces key terms and shows how they are translated. TheMenoprovides an excellent introduction both to Plato and to philosophy in general.
