Ranging from the Symposium to the Apology, this is a concise but
authoritative guide to the most important and widely studied of
Plato's Socratic dialogues. Taking each of the major dialogues in
turn, Arguing with Socrates encourages students to engage directly
with the questions that Socrates raises and with their relevance to
21st century life. Along the way, the book draws on Socrates'
thought to explore such questions as: * What is virtue and can it
be taught? * Should we obey the law if we don't agree with it? * Do
brave people feel fear? * Can we find truth in poetry? Arguing with
Socrates also includes an extensive introduction, providing an
overview of the key themes of the dialogues, their political and
cultural context and Socrates' philosophical method. Guides to
further reading are also provided to help students take their
studies further, making this an essential one-volume reference for
anyone studying these foundational philosophical works.
