Socratic Studies

by Gregory Vlastos

This is the companion volume to Gregory Vlastos' highly acclaimed Socrates: Ironist and Moral Philosopher. Four ground-breaking papers that laid the basis for his understanding of Socrates are collected here, together with a fifth chapter that is a new and provocative discussion of Socrates' arguments in the Protagoras and Laches. The Epilogue, Socrates and Vietnam, suggests that Socrates was not, as Plato claimed, the most just man of his time.
