Despite his ceaseless efforts to purge his fellow citizens of their
unfounded opinions and to bring them to care for what he believes
to be the most important things, Plato's Socrates rarely succeeds
in his pedagogical project with the characters he encounters. This
is in striking contrast to the historical Socrates, who spawned the
careers of Plato, Xenophon, and other authors of Socratic
dialogues. Through an examination of Socratic pedagogy under its
most propitious conditions, focusing on a narrow class of dialogues
featuring Lysis and Alcibiades, this book answers the question:
"why does Plato portray his divinely appointed gadfly as such a
dramatic failure?"
