In this article, I will investigate why Socrates proposes “recollection” and how he demonstrates it. My conclusion is that the reason Socrates offers “remembrance” is trying to help Meno understand how to explain virtue and show Meno how to demonstrate it. He asks one of Meno's slave geometry questions to demonstrate that our souls have all the knowledge we need to solve problems. This means that when we answer questions, we are gathering knowledge into our soul. First, Socrates talks about some beliefs he has heard from different religions (Meno, 71). I believe the meaning of the poem is due to some mistakes we have made, the punishment for us is to go through a series of reincarnations. Meanwhile, if we behave very reverently, Persephone will reward us. Before this, we have to spend nine years in the underworld, if we behave piously, she will send us to the sun after nine years, to become a monarch, an athlete or a saint, then have lifelong hero glories. In other words, the soul is immortal and reincarnation, therefore, we must live as devoutly as possible. Later, Socrates says: "Then if the truth about reality were always in our soul, the soul would be immortal, so you should always confidently try to seek and remember what you don't know at the moment, that is, what you don't remember?" (Meno, 78) Socrates deduces "we should live piously" from "the soul is immortal", but here, he deduces "we should take the initiative to remember" from "the soul is immortal". it means to be pious. Through recollection we can free ourselves from the pain of reincarnation and obtain a reward from the gods. In conclusion, piety and recollection are also not the same thing, piety is a form of knowledge and recollection is a stage of recollection. ...... of paper...himself. I believe Socrates wants us to attend to the difference between the ideas that are heard and the result of self-thought. Meanwhile, this process of learning geometry resonates with the. experience of the slave, reminds him of something he already knows. Socrates' dialogue with the slave (Meno, 77-78) shows the derivation of the test. This dialogue consists of two main visions: 1 if the slave continues along this path of investigation , he will acquire knowledge; 2 in this practice, he will discover that his own knowledge comes out within him. After confirmation, the slave's answers come from his. I believe Socrates demonstrates that we can acquire knowledge and access to knowledge because we potentially possess it. Socrates wants to explore how to solve problems through the theory of memories, since he admits that potential knowledge is that our investigation must proceed from this knowledge.
