Question

In discussing the idea of shape, Socrates at one point asks Meno "...do you assert that the round is no more round than it is straight, and that the straight is no more straight than it is round?" What point is he in the process of making?

1) Socrates has simply flipped. He's gone off the deep end. Meno has left, as has everyone else. And all of you closed your books several pages earlier.

2) He is trying to demonstrate that justice is one of the virtues, using "straight" in place of "justice".

3) He is trying to demonstrate that the concept of shape is internally incoherent.

4) None of the above.
