Alcibiades and the Socratic Lover-Educator (Hardcover)

In the Platonic work "Alcibiades I," a divinely guided Socrates adopts the guise of a lover in order to divert Alcibiades from an unthinking political career. The contributors to this carefully focussed volume cover aspects of the background to the work; its arguments and the philosophical issues it raises; its relationship to other Platonic texts, and its subsequent history up to the time of the Neoplatonists. Despite its ancient prominence, the authorship of "Alcibiades I" is still unsettled; the essays and two appendices, one historical and one stylometric, come together to suggest answers to this tantalising question.
