Description
Follow the famous geometrical demonstration with an enslaved boy as Socrates attempts to prove that learning is actually a form of recollection from a previous existence. This dialogue addresses the paradox of inquiry, asking how one can search for something they do not already know, while simultaneously exploring whether virtue can be taught. It bridges the gap between metaphysics and ethics, offering a glimpse into the theory of forms through practical application. The work remains essential for those interested in epistemology and the Socratic approach to education.
