I had never read "Meno" before, and while I really enjoyed this one I did have a difficult time with the math concepts at first. While the math was very easy, sometimes it was difficult for me to visualize exactly what Socrates was talking about when he was having someone imagine a square with a certain area, and then doubling it, and so on.

I liked this one because it is another example of Socrates using his question/answer method and proving that the person he is talking to really doesn't know what they're talking about. Meno wishes to know if virtue can be taught, and Socrates basically says that they should figure out what virtue is first, then decide whether it can be taught. Overall, a wonderful piece.
