Description

Xenophon: A Collection of Socratic Dialogues and Reminiscences This volume brings together Xenophon's portrayals of his associate, Socrates, in some of his most famous works. Through the lens of Xenophon himself, we gain insight into the life and times of one of ancient Greece's most influential philosophers. In addition to Socratic dialogues such as In Memorabilia and Oeconomicus, this collection also includes a dialogue about household management, Symposium, which offers a unique glimpse into life in Athens. The volume concludes with Xenophon's Apology, an interesting complement to Plato's account of Socrates' defense at his trial. By reading Xenophon's own words, we can gain a deeper understanding of the historical and cultural context in which he lived, as well as the philosophical ideas that shaped his thoughts on life and society.
