geometry in the sand... plato's meno

If you have not yet studied Plato, Meno is a good, rather, excellent, place to start. It is a simple Platonic dialogue of Plato explaining geometry and ethical issues to Meno, while he draws them out with a stick in the sand to illustrate his point. There isn't much to say about this book, except buy it if you are at all interested in philosophy and if you are not, then this is a good place to start because without philosophy, how do you think? At least, that's what Plato might say, certainly Aristotle might argue this... Seneca would... others certainly and i can only imagine Marcus Aurelius, the great Stoic philosopher. sadi ranson
