Two of Plato's most celebrated dialogues, Protagoras and Meno presents the foundational debates of Western philosophy with clarity and dramatic intensity. Protagoras pits Socrates against the great Sophist in a riveting exchange on whether virtue can be taught, arguing that moral excellence is inseparable from knowledge. Meno continues this inquiry, introducing the immortal theory of recollection — that all learning is a form of remembering knowledge the soul already possesses. Together, these dialogues illustrate Socrates at his sharpest, dismantling assumptions and pursuing truth through relentless, incisive questioning. This Penguin Classics edition makes these cornerstone texts of ancient Greek thought accessible to modern readers without sacrificing philosophical rigour.
