Context:UMeno (/ˈmiːnoʊ/; Greek) uyingxoxo kaSocrates kaPlato. UMeno uqala ingxoxo ngokubuza uSocrates ukuthi ubuhle bufundiswa yini, butholakala ngokwenza, noma buza ngokwemvelo. Ukuze kutholakale ukuthi ubuhle bungafundiswa yini noma cha, uSocrates utshela uMeno ukuthi kudingeka baqale bathole ukuthi buyini ubuhle. Lapho abalingiswa bekhuluma ngobuhle, noma kunalokho arete, basuke bebhekisela ebuhleni ngokujwayelekile, kunasebuhleni obuthile, njengobulungisa noma ukuzithiba. Ingxenye yokuqala yomsebenzi ibonisa isitayela seSocratic dialectical; UMeno, ongakwazi ukuchaza kahle ubuhle, wehliselwa ekudidekeni noma e-aporia. USocrates usikisela ukuba bafune incazelo efanelekile yobuhle ndawonye. Lapho ephendula, uMeno uthi akunakwenzeka ukufuna into umuntu angayayazi, ngoba umuntu ngeke akwazi ukunquma ukuthi uyitholile yini.  USocrates uphonsela inselele impikiswano kaMeno, evame ukubizwa ngokuthi "i-Meno's Paradox" noma "i-Learner's Paradox", ngokwethula inkolelo-mbono yolwazi njengokukhumbula (i-anamnesis). Njengoba kuvezwe engxoxweni, lemfundiso ithi imiphefumulo ayifi futhi yazi zonke izinto isesimweni sokungabikho komzimba; ukufunda okuqukethwe ngumzimba empeleni inqubo yokukhumbula lokho umphefumulo owawukwazi ngaphambi kokuba ungene emzimbeni. USocrates ubonisa inkumbulo esebenzayo ngokubeka iphazili yezibalo kwesinye sezigqila zikaMeno. Kamuva, uSocrates noMeno babuyela embuzweni wokuthi ingabe ubuhle bungafundiswa yini, besebenzisa indlela yokucabanga. Ngasekupheleni kwengxoxo, uMeno uveza enye iphazili edumile, ebizwa ngokuthi "Inkinga kaMeno" noma "Inkinga Yamagugu Olwazi", ebuza ukuthi kungani ulwazi lubaluleke kakhulu kunenkolelo yeqiniso. Ephendula, uSocrates unikeza umehluko odumile noyimfihlakalo phakathi kolwazi nenkolelo yeqiniso.
