Jowett: MEN 81b-82d — A solução pela reminiscência
Soc. And they say — mark, now, and see whether their words are true — they say that the soul of man is immortal, and at one time has an end, which is termed dying, and at another time is born again, but is never destroyed. And the moral is, that a man ought to…

Jowett: MEN 80d-81b — Não se pode buscar o que se ignora
Men. And how will you enquire, Socrates, into that which you do not know ? What will you put forth as the subject of enquiry ? And if you find what you want, how will you ever know that this is the thing which you did not know ? Soc. I know, Meno, what you…

Jowett: MEN 79e-86c — Fracasso da investigação sobre a virtude em geral
Men. O Socrates, I used to be told, before I knew you, that you were always doubting yourself and making others doubt ; and now you are casting your spells over me, and I am simply getting bewitched and enchanted, and am at my wits’ end. And if I may venture to make a jest…

Jowett: MEN 77a-79e — Nova tentativa de definir a virtude em geral
Men. Well then, Socrates, virtue, as I take it, is when he, who desires the honourable, is able to provide it for himself ; so the poet says, and I say too — Virtue is the desire of things honourable and the power of attaining them. Soc. And does he who desires the honourable also…

Jowett: MEN 73c-77a — Definindo a virtude em geral
Men. If you want to have one definition of them all, I know not what to say, but that virtue is the power of governing mankind. Soc. And does this definition of virtue include all virtue ? Is virtue the same in a child and in a slave, Meno ? Can the child govern his…

Jowett: MEN 71e-79e — Como definir a virtude?
Men. There will be no difficulty, Socrates, in answering your question. Let us take first the virtue of a man — he should know how to administer the state, and in the administration of it to benefit his friends and harm his enemies ; and he must also be careful not to suffer harm himself.…

Jowett: MEN 70a-71d — Prólogo
Meno. Can you tell me, Socrates, whether virtue is acquired by teaching or by practice ; or if neither by teaching nor practice, then whether it comes to man by nature, or in what other way ? Socrates. O Meno, there was a time when the Thessalians were famous among the other Hellenes only for…

Menon:98b-99a – Recapitulação levando a um impasse
SÓC. — Pero yo también, sin embargo, no hablo sabiendo, sino conjeturando1. Que son cosas distintas la recta opinión y el conocimiento, no me parece que lo diga ciertamente sólo por conjetura, pero si alguna otra cosa puedo afirmar que se —y pocas serían las que afirme—, ésta es precisamente una de las que pondría…

Menon:96d-98a – Sabedoria e opinião
SÓC. — Temo, Menón, que tú y yo seamos unas pobres criaturas, y que no te haya educado satisfactoriamente a ti Gorgias, ni a mí Pródico1. Así que más que de cualquier otra cosa, tenemos que ocuparnos de nosotros mismos y buscar a aquel que, de una manera u otra, nos haga mejores. Digo esto…

Menon:95a-96d – A opinião verdadeira
SÓC. —Me parece, Menón, que Anito se ha irritado1, y no me asombra, ya que, en primer lugar, cree que estoy acusando a estos hombres y, en segundo lugar, se considera él también uno de ellos. Pero si llegara a saber alguna vez qué significa «hablar mal»2, cesaría de irritarse; pero ahora lo ignora. Mas…
