Description

In this live discussion of the Toronto Philosophy, Calgary Philosophy, and Online Rebels Meetup groups that occurred on February 28, 2021 we examined the nature of virtue and whether virtue can be taught, which is the opening question that Meno asks in Plato’s dialogue. Our own dialogue explored the nature of knowledge, which Socrates proclaimed to be “recollection” and the “account of the reasons why”, and the application of knowledge in the intelligent universe.

Welcome to Plato's Pod, a bi-weekly podcast of a group discussion on the dialogues of Plato. The discussion is held through Meetup.com by the Toronto Philosophy and Calgary Philosophy groups and anyone interested in participating, whether to learn about Plato or to contribute to the dialogue, is welcome to join with no experience required! The podcast is hosted by amateur philosopher James Myers and inquiries can be e-mailed to dialoguesonplato@outlook.com. Wherever we go in our discussions we gain knowledge from each other’s perspectives, and for the increase in knowledge we invite everyone to add their voice to the dialogue. Plato, without a doubt, would have imagined no better way than in dialogue for knowledge – the account of the reasons why – to find its home.
