We will discuss the other two dialogues in the Hackett edition of Plato's Socratic dialogues—Meno and Phaedo. (About 95 pages of reading).

From the introduction in the book:
"'Meno' shows Socrates debating in his characteristic way with Meno on the nature and teachability of human virtue (goodness), and also examining Meno's slave-boy on a question of geometry, in order to prove the preexistence of our souls and our ability to learn ('recollect') truths by rigorously examining our own opinions.

'Phaedo' gives an account of his discussion with his friends in prison on the last day of his life, mostly on the question of the immortality of the soul."
