The Bloomsbury Handbook of Socrates

0/5 ( ratings)

This handbook provides detailed philosophical analyses of the life and thought of Socrates across 16 in-depth chapters. Each chapter engages with and expands upon the influential tradition of interpretation outlined in the work of Gregory Vlastos, and takes Socratic studies in a new direction.

Using this tradition of interpretation, a leading team of scholars present dynamic readings of Socrates, extracted from the historical context of Plato's dialogues, covering elenchus, irony, ignorance, definitions, pedagogy, friendship, politics and the daemon. Building on these core Socratic topics, this edition includes new accounts of Socrates in the work of philosopher and historian, Xenophon, the comic playwright, Aristophanes, as well as important scholarship on topics such as the emotions, the afterlife, motivational intellectualism and virtue intellectualism.

Fully revised and updated, the Bloomsbury Handbook of Socrates elucidates the complex landscape of Socratic thought and interpretation. This second edition includes:

-5 brand new chapters
-8 comprehensively rewritten chapters
-A new reference format, including single-column text, endnotes with page numbers and author-headed chapters

Pages: 576

Format: Hardcover
