Menon

Plato is undoubtedly one of the most important and influential philosophers in the history of thought. He contributed to the institutionalization of philosophy and the formation of the written tradition in philosophy, and was the initiator of the idealist philosophy tradition that would determine the entire medieval thought with its two-world metaphysics. Plato, who is also important in terms of his influence on Christian Medieval philosophy and Islamic thought, addressed all the problems discussed throughout the history of thought hundreds of years ago and built the first major philosophical system.

After the dialogues depicting Socrates, who does not provide even a scrap of information on any subject, but only argues with people and shows them their ignorance when it comes to moral virtues, and ends in a negative way; Plato puts forward a positive doctrine for the first time in the Meno . This is the famous theory of recollection , which argues that knowledge, in the sense of being a priori , is nothing other than the remembrance of concepts, thoughts, principles and even information implicit in the soul.

Even someone who has not read the dialogue before or has not the slightest acquaintance with it will understand that when it is said, "You know, that dialogue in which Socrates has a slave who does not know any mathematics solve a geometry problem," a reference is made to Meno .

Meno , which begins with the issue of what virtue is and whether it can be taught, as in many Socratic dialogues, is both one of the middle period dialogues in which Plato is most productive in terms of creativity, and is considered one of the brightest evidence of Plato's rationalism and otherworldly idealism.
