"Everyone interested in Socrates and his legacy will find somethingvaluable in this book..." Notre Dame PhilosophicalReviews "A remarkably rich and imaginative collection. Socrates was aphilosopher who became a cultural icon; this book, with its massivehistorical range and its great variety of scholarly approach, doesunique justice to his complexity." G.R.F. Ferrari, University of California, Berkeley "This is a stimulating collection that succeeds admirably inconveying the enormous range of responses that the ever puzzlingSocrates has inspired through the ages, and continues to inspire.The essays on Plato's Socrates are fresh and vigorous, and theattention paid to later perspectives (from antiquity to thepresent, and especially recent centuries) helps make this volume adistinctive and unusually illuminating addition to Socraticstudies. It should be a welcome companion to a figure who attracteddevoted companions in his lifetime, and legions more ever since."Stephen White, University of Texas at Austin "Technical issues are treated thoroughly and comprehensibly andthe state of knowledge on Socrates is comprehensively presentedboth for today and its historical contexts. Its subject matter willbe of interest to non-specialists with a penchant for philosophy,or for the history of thoght, since there is as much of interesthere about the influence of Socrates on later periods as there ison the thought of the philosopher himself."

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
