The Theory of Recollection - part 6:
The demonstration - part 2:
The slave works out (without being taught!) that a square with a side of two units has an area of four (squares). When asked about a square with double the area (eight squares), he confidently declares that the line of the square must be double too. Meno does not react, but we should.
Here I read through Platonic dialogues, translating and commenting on the Greek text as I go.
