Plato, Euthyphro and Meno
Available in all Mods candidates.
These are two lively and philosophically important dialogues, in which Socrates and others discuss issues of knowledge and definition, especially of ethical concepts such as piety (Euthyphro) and excellence (Meno). Those doing IA or IC read Meno in Greek and Euthyphro in English, those doing IB and IIB read Meno 70a–86d2 in Greek, Euthyphro and the rest of Meno in translation, while those doing IIA read both works in English.
The examination involves translation (except for IIA), passages for comment on points of philosophical interest, and essays.
Not all courses and papers are available in every year. The authoritative information about courses and papers can be found in the University's Examination Decrees and Regulations, published with changes each October; the version published in the October a student begins a course will be authoritative for the examinations which that student takes at the end of the course.
