Reexamining Socrates in the Apology

Book Overview

An oracle was reported to have said, "No one is wiser than Socrates." And in fact it was Socrates' life's work to interpret these words, which demanded and defined the practice of philosophy. Each of these original essays attends carefully to the specifics of the Apology, looking to its dramatic details, its philosophic teaching, and its complexity as a work of writing to bring into focus the "Socrates" of the Apology.
