Hulse, James W.: The Reputations of Socrates

The Afterlife of a Gadfly. This study examines the uses and misuses of the name of Socrates through the centuries. The author argues that the central ethical message of Socrates as expressed in the Apology and Crito was distorted by generations of admirers and detractors from the time of Plato through the Enlightenment. Beginning in the eighteenth century, the process generating the central ideas of the paradigmatic gadfly began, and the development has continued to our time. 220 Seiten, gebunden (Revisioning Philosophy; Vol. 23/Peter Lang Verlag 1995) Mängelexemplar/near mint
