In one volume, this book brings together a new English translation of Plato's Meno, a selection of illuminating articles on themes in the dialogue published between 1965 and 1985 and an introduction setting the Meno in its historical context and opening up the key philosophical issues which the various articles discuss.
A glossary is provided which briefly introduces some of the key terms and indicates how they are translated. The Meno is an excellent introduction to Plato and philosophy.

The book is designed to serve as a handy "starter-kit" for the study of this work. In one volume it provides: a new English translation of the text; a selection of illuminating articles on themes in the dialogue published between 1965 and 1985; an introduction setting the "Meno" in its historical context, opening up the key philosophical issues which the various articles discuss; and a glossary which introduces some of the key terms and indicates how they are translated. All the articles are clearly focused on the text and have proven their value for undergraduates studying the "Meno". The interests of readers with little or no knowledge of Greek are borne in mind throughout the volume. Jane Day's translation is particularly designed to be useful to such readers by preserving more consistency in its Greek terms than is found in the English translations, thus providing a more reliable reflection of the details in the original. Within the articles, too, Greek words and phrases at various points in the original printing are accompanied or replaced in this reprinting by a translation. The "Meno" offers an introduction to Plato and to philosophy.
