Evento o condizione? : anamnesis e innatismo a partire dal Menone

This essay focus-­ es on the theory of recollection in Plato's Meno. It shows that behind the mythical de-­ scription of the prenatal vision of intelligible forms by the soul lies Plato's intention to underpin the thesis according to which the soul possesses a nature that allows it to know true being, because the soul is akin (syngenes) to the intelligible world. This means that Plato's conception of recollection does not refer to an event but to a condition. [Publisher's text].
