What is a library, if not a gathering place for the soul? In The Plato Library, the dialogues of Plato are read in full, inviting the listener to sit beside Socrates and his companions as they inquire into justice, beauty, love, knowledge, virtue, and the good life. Come, then, and listen. Not as one who already knows, but as one willing to seek.Public domain Philosophie Sozialwissenschaften

  • Meno Part 2 of the Dialogs

    Meno Part 2 of the Dialogs
    Jun 18 2026
    In which Socrates engages Meno in a dialectic exploration of virtue, questioning whether it is knowledge, can be taught, or is a divine gift, whilst examining the nature of true opinion and the existence of teachers of virtue in their city. They consider the paradox that while good men exist and guide others, there appear to be no clear instructors of virtue, suggesting it may arise from a form of divine instinct rather than human education.
