In this Reading Group, we will study Plato’s ‘Meno’. The young and impetuous Meno opens the dialogue with a question: can virtue be taught? The ensuing conversation touches on a wide range of important ethical issues, which we explore and discuss together. You can develop a good understanding of Platonic thinking and hone your critical thinking. All you need is to be willing to read the dialogue (in translation, about 40 pages). I could provide you with a copy of the text.

5 meetings on Wednesday evenings, 19.30–21.00 at the Thinkery.

Dates: 4 May, 11 May, 18 May, 25 May, 1 June.

The cost for all meetings is £90.
