Socrates and His Approach to Meno's Paradox

Experience and knowledge are two very similar in definition but at the same time their immediate differences have such a disparity that there can be no real lines drawn. Both are varying in nature but at the same time their similarities provide a venue for dissecting both meaning’s parallelisms and variations. Is it an innate knowledge that everyone has, or perhaps it is what is taught to our offspring and in it an everlasting trail of information? Meno brings to us a paradox about this subject, and declaring it as Meno’s Paradox. Is it impossible to bring this theory apart however? Socrates has taken on the challenge of Meno’s paradox, driving the differences between experiencing a notion and having a preexisting knowledge of thus.

Socrates spent his life contemplating and dissecting the many paradoxes of life and solving their complexities. However, Meno brings up what appears to be an intractable paradox. How, he asks, can one investigate what one does not know? Which of the things you do not know will you propose as the object of your search? Even if you stumble across it, how will you know it is the thing you did not know? These are all known together to form as Meno’s Paradox. However, is this paradox truly a paradox? Can there be no way to disprove that this paradox is faulty? There is, in fact, a way to find the fallacy in the impossibility of Meno’s Paradox, however to do so, there are a few notions that one must give up to get past the miniscule technicalities that are a slight part of both sides of this argument.
