Nathan Gilmour talks with Danny Anderson and Michial Farmer about Plato's dialogue "Meno." The dialogue's central question is whether arete, a word meaning excellence or virtue, can be taught or whether it's naturally part of some people's character but not others'. Among the questions, concepts, and other realities discussed are the pre-existence of the soul, the nature of "Socratic" pedagogy, relationships between dialectic and rhetoric in education, and whether there is any such thing as "the" Platonic position on anything.
