I am responding to this post.
I somewhat agree to this post. Knowledge is mostly learned. We go to school to learn and add onto our knowledge. I believe that people inherently know things but do not know how they know it or what its purpose is. School teaches those things, but people learn things through observation and experience. Maybe the soul that Plato refers to is simply instincts. So in response to this comment, "(I am not assuming that everything can be taught, but I will argue that what cannot be taught are instincts.) In Plato's dialogue between Socrates and Meno about the uneducated slave doing geometry, the conclusion that recollection from the soul, is how learning occurs is made." I believe that Plato was just
referring to the instinctual things we know, things that most people have always known how to do.
