Essays on the Philosophy of Socrates

Contributors include: Terence Irwin, Alexander Nehamas, Thomas Brickhouse, Nicholas Smith, and Gregory Vlastos. Although the last two decades have seen an expansion of research in Socratic philosophy, there has been no significant anthology of critical essays in this area since 1971. This book aims to fill the gap by providing a selection of sixteen influential recent essays by well-known scholars. Topics include Socratic
methodology and ethics, and a range of issues in Plato's early dialogues.
