Alcibiades and the Socratic Lover-Educator
Angebote / Angebote:
In the Platonic work Alcibiades I, a divinely guided Socrates adopts the guise of a lover in order to divert Alcibiades from an unthinking political career. The contributors to this carefully focussed volume cover aspects of the background to the work, its arguments and the philosophical issues it raises, its relationship to other Platonic texts, and its subsequent history up to the time of the Neoplatonists. Despite its ancient prominence, its authorship is still unsettled, the essays and two appendices, one historical and one stylometric, come together tosuggest answers to this tantalising question.
