Description
Laurence Lampert's magisterial investigation explores how Socrates' philosophy evolved over a fifty-year span of his life. By examining Plato's dialogues, including Protagoras, Charmides, and Republic, Lampert reveals the enduring record of philosophy as it gradually took shape in the West.
The chronological route presented by Plato leads to a deeper understanding of Socrates' thought and its development. This book focuses on the final step in that process, offering detailed textual analysis of Plato's key works. It charts Socrates' gradual discovery of a proper politics to shelter and advance philosophy.
