Abstract

Purely by questioning Socrates has elicited from an uninstructed slave the conclusion that the square on the diagonal of a square is twice the original square in area. Then comes a part of the dialogue which I translate:Socrates. This knowledge, then, that he has now, he either got some time, or always had?Meno. Yes.
