The Socratic Way of Life is the first English-language book-length
study of the philosopher Xenophon's masterwork. In it, Thomas L.
Pangle shows that Xenophon depicts more authentically than does
Plato the true teachings and way of life of the citizen philosopher
Socrates, founder of political philosophy. In the first part of the
book, Pangle analyzes Xenophon's defense of Socrates against the
two charges of injustice upon which he was convicted by democratic
Athens: impiety and corruption of the youth. In the second part,
Pangle analyzes Xenophon's account of how Socrates's life as a
whole was just, in the sense of helping through his teaching a wide
range of people. Socrates taught by never ceasing to raise, and to
progress in answering, the fundamental and enduring civic
questions: what is pious and impious, noble and ignoble, just and
unjust, genuine statesmanship and genuine citizenship. Inspired by
Hegel's and Nietzsche's assessments of Xenophon as the true voice
of Socrates, The Socratic Way of Life establishes the Memorabilia
as the groundwork of all subsequent political philosophy.
