my belief that Lenin had entirely good reasons for doing as he did,
and felt he was helping the world as apposed to Adolf Hitler.

The Socratic Logos
Words: 488 - Pages: 2.... 9e) was incorrect because Euthyphro was presupposing that the reason the gods love it is because it is already pious.
The main subject of the Meno is the search for a definition of virtue. However, Meno and Socrates are unable to find one because Meno first attempts to give some characteristics of virtue, but is unable to do so because he cannot list all the aspects that are a part of virtue.
