Meno
Why, what reason have you to make a difficulty about it, and feel a doubt as to virtue being knowledge?Socrates
I will tell you, Meno. I do not withdraw as incorrect the statement that it is taught, if it is knowledge; but as to its being knowledge, consider if you think I have grounds for misgiving. For tell me now: if anything at all, not merely virtue, is teachable, must there not be teachers and learners of it?
