In the “Meno”, Socrates is given a logical dilemma in the form of Meno’s Paradox that questions our ability as humans to learn anything at all. There have been many ways people have answered this dilemma. Socrates answers this dilemma through his Theory of Recollection. This may not be the best way to answer Meno’s Paradox and there might be a better way to answer it.

When I analysed the program at a later date however, I did notice that there were some aspects that could have been modified in all aspects of the program.

These concepts also help me understand certain situations…
