The Cambridge Companion to Socrates is a collection of essays
providing a comprehensive guide to Socrates, the most famous Greek
philosopher. Because Socrates himself wrote nothing, our evidence
comes from the writings of his friends (above all Plato), his
enemies, and later writers. Socrates is thus a literary figure as
well as a historical person. Both aspects of Socrates' legacy are
covered in this volume. Socrates' character is full of paradox, and
so are his philosophical views. These paradoxes have led to deep
differences in scholars' interpretations of Socrates and his
thought. Mirroring this wide range of thought about Socrates, this
volume's contributors are unusually diverse in their background and
perspective. The essays in this volume were authored by classical
philologists, philosophers and historians from Germany, Francophone
Canada, Britain and the United States, and they represent a range
of interpretive and philosophical traditions.
