Editorial Reviews
Review
"Excellent collection of essays." --Journal of Hellenic Studies

"A useful compendium of articles on Socrates, appropriate for an upper-level undergraduate and graduate students and professionals. A source for teachers and scholars."--Leonard Ortmann, Conception Seminary College

"An excellent selection of significant articles on Socratic philosophy. Well suited for use in advanced classes."--Dirk D. Held, Connecticut College

"An excellent collection. It will be extremely helpful for both teaching and research."--Nicholas P. White, University of Michigan

"The quality of the essays and the broad range of topics and approaches should give this book's readers an appreciation of the present state of the question. Its format and bibliographies will appeal to a range of readers."--Eugene M. Ludwig, Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology

"Superb presentation of an excellent selection. Introduction helpful for introductory courses. Index locorum a good idea."--James McJ. Robertson, Cogswell College

"A superb collection of essays. Guaranteed to get one thinking. It would make a significant addition to...reading for any undergraduate course in ancient philosophy or in an introductory course where early dialogues are discussed."--Alan Hart, University of Akron

"A wonderful collection. I intend to read or reread every essay and assign them often. The essays are accessible to non-philosophers and appropriate for (say) intermediate Greek students."--John Gibert, University of Colorado

"A quote useful collection of contemporary work on Socrates."--A.J. Lisska, Denison University

"A fine collection of recent material on the philosophy of Socrates by the leading scholars in that field. Benson's introductory essay is fair and even-handed, and the bibliography is current and useful."--Bud Jenks, Williamette University

Product Description
The last two decades have witnessed a virtual explosion of research in Socratic philosophy. This volume collects essays that represent the range and diversity of that vast literature, including historical and philosophical essays devoted to a single Platonic dialogue, as well as essays devoted to the Socratic method, Socratic epistemology, and Socratic ethics. With lists of suggested further readings, an extensive bibliography on recent Socratic research, and an index locorum, this unique and much-needed anthology makes the study of Socratic philosophy accessible to both scholars and non-specialists.
