Plato's Euthyrphro, Apology, and Crito portray Socrates' words and
deeds during his trial for disbelieving in the Gods of Athens and
corrupting the Athenian youth, and constitute a defense of the man
Socrates and of his way of life, the philosophic life. The twelve
essays in the volume, written by leading classical philosophers,
investigate various aspects of these works of Plato, including the
significance of Plato's characters, Socrates's revolutionary
religious ideas, and the relationship between historical events and
Plato's texts. Readers will find their appreciation of Plato's
works greatly enriched by these essays.

"'Have you seen the latest OSAP?' is what scholars of ancient
philosophy say to each other when they meet in corridors or on
coffee breaks. Whether you work on Plato or Aristotle, on
Presocratics or sophists, on Stoics, Epicureans, or Sceptics, on
Roman philosophers or Greek Neoplatonists, you are liable to find
OSAP articles now dominant in the bibliography of much serious
published work in your particular subject: not safe to miss." -
Malcolm Schofield, Cambridge University "OSAP was founded to
provide a place for long pieces on major issues in ancient
philosophy. In the years since, it has fulfilled this role with
great success, over and over again publishing groundbreaking papers
on what seemed to be familiar topics and others surveying new
ground to break. It represents brilliantly the vigour-and the
increasingly broad scope-of scholarship in ancient philosophy, and
shows us all how the subject should flourish." - M.M. McCabe,
King's College London

Plato's Moral Psychology is concerned with Plato's account of the
soul and its impact on our living well or badly, virtuously or
viciously. The core of Plato's moral psychology is his account of
human motivation, and Rachana Kamtekar argues that throughout the
dialogues Plato maintains that human beings have a natural desire
for our own good, and that actions and conditions contrary to this
desire are involuntary (from which follows the 'Socratic paradox'
that wrongdoing is involuntary). Our natural desire for our own
good may be manifested in different ways: by our pursuit of what we
calculate is best, but also by our pursuit of pleasant or fine
things - pursuits which Plato assigns to distinct parts of the
soul. Kamtekar develops a very different interpretation of Plato's
moral psychology from the mainstream interpretation, according to
which Plato first proposes that human beings only do what we
believe to be the best of the things we can do ('Socratic
intellectualism') and then in the middle dialogues rejects this in
favour of the view that the soul is divided into parts with some
good-dependent and some good-independent motivations ('the divided
soul').

'The serial Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy (OSAP) is fairly
regarded as the leading venue for publication in ancient
philosophy. It is where one looks to find the state-of-the-art.
That the serial, which presents itself more as an anthology than as
a journal, has traditionally allowed space for lengthier studies,
has tended only to add to its prestige; it is as if OSAP thus
declares that, since it allows as much space as the merits of the
subject require, it can be more entirely devoted to the best and
most serious scholarship.' Michael Pakaluk, Bryn Mawr Classical
Review This special volume of Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy
presents sixteen specially written essays on virtue and happiness,
and the treatment of these topics by thinkers from the fifth
century BC to the third century AD. It is published in honour of
Julia Annas (University of Arizona)-one of the leading scholars in
the field.
