Socrates, Ironist and Moral Philosopher

Gregory's new book begins from the conviction that Socrates strangeness is the key to his philosophy. It is a marvelous book, in which no major aspect of Socrates career is eclipsed. The rigor of his arguments, the depth of his moral commitment and understanding, his complex relationship to Athenian ethical traditions, his rational religion: all this comes to life in writing whose vigor and lucidity put the challenge of Socrates squarely before the reader.Vlastos, Gregory is the author of 'Socrates, Ironist and Moral Philosopher' with ISBN 9780801497872 and ISBN 0801497876.
