Jowett: MEN 96d-98a — Comparação do saber com a opinião verdadeira
Soc. I am afraid, Meno, that you and I are not good for much, and that Gorgias has been as poor an educator of you as Prodicus has been of me. Certainly we shall have to look to ourselves, and try to find some one who will help in some way or other to improve…

Jowett: MEN 95a-99a — A opinião verdadeira
Soc. O Meno, think that Anytus is in a rage. And he may well be in a rage, for he thinks, in the first place, that I am defaming these gentlemen ; and in the second place, he is of opinion that he is one of them himself. But some day he will know what…

Jowett: MEN 93a-94e — Por que os grandes homens não souberam transmitir seus méritos a seus filhos?
Soc. Yes, certainly, Anytus ; and many good statesmen also there always have been and there are still, in the city of Athens. But the question is whether they were also good teachers of their own virtue ; — not whether there are, or have been, good men in this part of the world, but…

Jowett: MEN 91a-93a — Os sofistas julgados por Anytos
Soc. Very good. And now you are in a position to advise with me about my friend Meno. He has been telling me, Anytus, that he desires to attain that kind of wisdom and virtue by which men order the state or the house, and honour their parents, and know when to receive and when…

Jowett: MEN 90b-94e — Anytos, porta-voz da consciência coletiva e das tradições
Soc. Please, Anytus, to help me and your friend Meno in answering our question : Who are the teachers ? Consider the matter thus : If we wanted Meno to be a good physician, to whom should we send him ? Should we not send him to the physicians ? Anytus. Certainly. Soc. Or if…

Jowett: MEN 89b-90b — Em quais condições a virtude seria o fruto de um estudo?
Soc. But if the good are not by nature good, are they made good by instruction ? Men. There appears to be no other alternative, Socrates. On the supposition that virtue is knowledge, there can be no doubt that virtue is taught. Soc. Yes, indeed ; but what if the supposition is erroneous ? Men.…

Jowett: MEN 88a-89b — A virtude enquanto atividade útil
Soc. And what is the guiding principle which makes them profitable or the reverse ? Are they not profitable when they are rightly used, and hurtful when they are not rightly used ? Men. Certainly. Soc. Next, let us consider the goods of the soul : they are temperance, justice, courage, quickness of apprehension, memory,…

Jowett: MEN 86c-90b — Retomada do problema da virtude
Soc. Then, as we are agreed that a man should enquire about that which he does not know, shall you and I make an effort to enquire together into the nature of virtue ? Men. By all means, Socrates. And yet I would much rather return to my original question, Whether in seeking to acquire…

Jowett: MEN 85b-86c — Interpretação da reminiscência
Soc. What do you say of him, Meno ? Were not all these answers given out of his own head ? Men. Yes, they were all his own. Soc. And yet, as we were just now saying, he did not know ? Men. True. Soc. But still he had in him those notions of his…

Jowett: MEN 82d-85b — Problema da duplicação do quadrado
Soc. And might there not be another square twice as large as this, and having like this the lines equal ? Boy. Yes. Soc. And of how many feet will that be ? Boy. Of eight feet. Soc. And now try and tell me the length of the line which forms the side of that…
