西洋哲学の原点へ。好評レファレンスThe Bloomsbury Companion to Socratesから11年後の新版。プラトンの対話篇でおなじみのソクラテスだけでなく、他の同時代人クセノポンやアリストファネスの著作に見られるソクラテス像を加えて、感情や徳などの近年の重要テーマも取り上げる。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 emotions, the afterlife, motivational intellectualism and virtue intellectualism.
