6. A paradox as a premise
Plato Meno, XIV 80d–e/81a
And how will you enquire, Socrates, into that which
you do not know? What will you put forth as the
subject of enquiry? And if you find what you want,
how will you ever know that this is the thing which
you did not know?
I know, Meno, what you mean; but just see what a
tiresome dispute you are introducing. You argue
that man cannot enquire either about that which he
knows, or about that which he does not know; for if
he knows, he has no need to enquire; and if not, he
cannot; for he does not know the very subject
about which he is to enquire.
7. Anamnesys: a myth as an answer
Plato Meno, XIV 81c-d
“ Seeing then that the soul is immortal and has been born
many times, and has beheld all things both in this world
and in the nether realms, she has acquired knowledge of all
and everything; so that it is no wonder that she should be
able to recollect all that she knew before about virtue and
other things. For as all nature is akin, and the soul has
“
learned all things, there is no reason why we should not, by
remembering but one single thing—an act which men call
learning—discover everything else, if we have courage and
faint not in the search; since, it would seem, research and
learning are wholly recollection.
