Socrates continues to explore the ramifications of the hypothesis that virtue, if teachable, would be an episteme (knowledge/understanding). Following the concluson that good things such as health, wealth, strength, and beauty are beneficial ony when used with intelligence (nous), but harmful when used without intelligence, this time Socrates begins considering the good things of the soul, the. first three of which are actually three of the four cardinal virtues - soundmindedness, justice, and courage. Among the many mistakes Socrates deliberately makes in an attempt to make Meno react were he to begin thinking critically, these cardinal virtues are treated as prudence (phronesis) itself, although technically that is the name often given to virtue altogether, and he treats these virtues as beneficial or harmful depending on whether they are used with or without intelligence (technically, he asks Meno, and it is Meno who allows this nonsense).
