This four volume set is a collection of some of the most
significant scholarship published on the philosophy of Socrates in
the last half century. The contributors include many of the most
prominent scholars in this field. As the growth in Socratic studies
in the past three decades is due in large part to the influential
work of Gregory Vlastos, articles by him figure prominently in the
collection, and works by other authors are generally related to his
work (as sources of it, responses to it, or further developments of
it). The volumes deal with different areas of Socratic thought. The
first volume begins with the question whether and to what degree we
can discern a distinctive philosophy of Socrates in the ancient
sources. The second volume deals with the trial of Socrates and the
philosophical issues that arise from it. The third volume considers
the philosophical methodology of Socrates and the fourth his moral
philosophy. This collection shares some material with earlier
collections on the philosophy of Socrates, but it is more extensive
and up-to-date. Unlike other collections, which may offer the
reader only a single article on a given topic, this collection
offers a conversation in-depth. The reader can thus get a sense of
the dimensions of the scholarly debate on these central issues in
the philosophy of Socrates. No collection can be complete, but this
aims at a representative portrait of Socratic studies in the last
fifty years.
