Lindsay Judson and Vassilis Karasmanis present a selection of
philosophical papers by an outstanding international team of
scholars, assessing the legacy and continuing relevance of
Socrates' thought 2,400 years after his death. Socrates' life,
philosophical activity, and death not only had a formative effect
on his follower Plato, and thus indirectly on almost the whole
course of Greek philosophy, but also represented a moral and
philosophical ideal which has been the inspiration, or the despair,
of many philosophers and other thinkers down to the present day.
The topics of the papers include Socratic method as portrayed by
Plato and by Xenophon; the notion of definition; Socrates'
intellectualist conception of ethics; famous arguments in the
Euthyphro and Crito, and a not-so famous argument in the Hippias
Major; and aspects of the later portrayal and reception of Socrates
as a philosophical and ethical exemplar - by Plato, the Sceptics,
and in the early Christian era. The collection demonstrates the
vitality as well as the diversity of Socratic studies, and will
interest many ancient philosophers, historians of philosophy, and
classicists.
