Socrates' life, as revealed in Plato's dialogues, is defined by a
twofold ambition. On one hand, he scrutinizes people's beliefs,
including his own, with the aim of exposing inconsistencies and
learning about the human excellences. On the other hand, Socrates
attempts to persuade particular individuals that the life of virtue
and justice is far superior to the life of injustice. Curtis A.
Johnson, by focusing specifically on the dialogues with the
'immoralists' Polus, Callicles, and Thrasymachus, illuminates the
complexities of Socrates' thought, showing the complicated
interplay of the seemingly contradictory parts of Socrates'
ambition, ultimately vindicating the overall coherence of the
views. Socrates and the Immoralists assembles an in-depth
exploration of Socrates' argument for the just life, important for
scholars of Socrates, Plato, and Greek philosophy in general.
