Plato's Apology of Socrates: A Literary and Philosophical Study With a Running Commentary (Mnemosyne, Bibliotheca Classica Batava Supplementum) (English and Ancient Greek Edition)
Book information
Description
There have been many recent studies on the Apology. This book differs from them in that it attempts a synthesis of philosophical and literary approaches. A great deal of attention is paid to the philosophical and religious views that are present - often implicitly - in the text; they are much closer to the philosophy of Plato's main works than is usually assumed. But the Apology is also analysed as a rhetorical text: its close relationship with fourth-century rhetorical theory and practice is highlighted. The analyses of the various parts of the speech are followed by a detailed line-by-line commentary. The work was started by E. de Strycker SJ; after his death, it was revised and completed by S.R. Slings.
