Plato's dialogues show Socrates at different ages, beginning when
he was about nineteen and already deeply immersed in philosophy and
ending with his execution five decades later. By presenting this
model philosopher across a fifty-year span of his life, Plato leads
his readers to wonder: Does that time period correspond to the
development of Socrates' thought? In this magisterial investigation
of the evolution of Socrates' philosophy, Laurence Lampert answers
in the affirmative. The chronological route that Plato maps for us,
Lampert argues, reveals the enduring record of philosophy as it
gradually took the form that came to dominate the life of the mind
in the West. The reader accompanies Socrates as he breaks with the
century-old tradition of philosophy, turns to his own path,
gradually enters into a deeper understanding of nature and human
nature, and discovers the successful way to transmit his wisdom to
the wider world. Focusing on the final and most prominent step in
that process and offering detailed textual analysis of Plato's
"Protagoras, Charmides, and Republic", "How Philosophy Became
Socratic" charts Socrates' gradual discovery of a proper politics
to shelter and advance philosophy.
