5.0 out of 5 stars What Is A Slave? What Is Human?, March 4, 2006

Joshua Packard (Brockton, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Protagoras and Meno (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)

If Meno's slave boy, if a slave is capable of discovering the same knowledge about geometry and to discover and apply the most profound ideas that can ever discovered, as Meno's slave demonstrates is able to do, what does that say about what a slave is? What does that, if true, demonstrate about human beings? I not only recommend this but wanted to pose that question too. I recommend the "Meno" dialogue as well as Frederick Douglass's 3 Autobiographies.

4.0 out of 5 stars Non-Philosophy Buffs Need Not Apply, May 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Protagoras and Meno (Penguin Classics) (Paperback)

Many modern philosophers have debated exactly what "virtue" is, and how one becomes or is virtuous. Protagoras and Socrates, two ancient Greek philosophers actively debate this issue in this book. A warning: THE TEXT IS VERY CONFUSING, AND WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO BE READ MORE THAN ONCE. If you don't dig philosophy, I recommend you avoid this book, as reading it will give you a big headache. But for those out there who love philosophy, this book is definitely for you. I gave this book an 8 because it does an excellent job of explaining two different views on this subject, and will obviously attract philosophy buffs.
