Socrates' Solution

Socrates offers a resolution to this paradox by suggesting that learning is akin to recollection. According to Socrates, the soul is eternal and has knowledge of all things, so learning is a process of remembering what one already knows. To illustrate this, Socrates conducts a demonstration with a slave boy, asking him mathematical questions that he answers correctly despite having no prior instruction in geometry. Socrates argues that this demonstrates how knowledge is latent within individuals and can be drawn out through proper questioning.
