During the dialogue of “Meno”, Socrates asks what virtue is and whether virtue is innate, acquired through learning or received as a gift from the gods (Jowett, 1949) . After some discussion with Meno, Socrates first proposes the theory that virtue is innate. Subsequently, knowledge of innate virtue is a priori knowledge, which in turn depends on a priori justification (Russell, 2011). A priori knowledge is knowledge that is based on a priori justification. A priori justification is a type of epistemic justification that is, in some sense, independent of experience. There are a variety of views on whether a priori justification can be defeated by other evidence, especially by empirical evidence, and a variety of views on whether a priori justification, or knowledge, must concern only necessary propositions , or analytical, or not. less than those deemed necessary or analytical (Russell, 2011). A priori knowledge of innate virtue is derived by means other than experience. Plato's theory of memory was designed to give validity to Socrates' presumption that virtue was an innate attribute (Jowett, 1949). The presumption that virtue is in fact a natural attribute that belongs to oneself and is not learned through experience; makes virtue an absolute attribute in everyone and derivable through memory. Plato stated: “Thought is the absolute and all reality is thought” (Hegel, 226). Therefore if knowledge is innate then it means obtaining true knowledge through remembering and reasoning about it. If virtue is indeed an innate attribute, which can be consciously evoked through logical thought and persistent inquiry, this I can deduce to the best of my ability to reach...... middle of paper ......seen so far through logical reasoning and investigation, the process of using it to incite the memory of morality can still be useful. While my thinking may be fallible, I cannot find adequate evidence to disprove that our innate knowledge of morality allows us to discern the intent and means that evoke our actions producing a moral or immoral action.
