Item description from seller

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book addresses the problem of fully explaining Socrates' motives for philosophic interlocution in Plato's dialogues. Why, for instance, does Socrates talk to many philosophically immature and seemingly incapable interlocutors Are his motives in these cases moral, prudential, erotic, pedagogic, or intellectual In any one case, can Socrates' reasons for engaging an unlikely interlocutor be explained fully on the grounds of intellectual self-interest (i.e., the promise of advancing his own wisdom) Or does his activity, including his self-presentation and staging of his death, require additional motives for adequate explanation Finally, how, if at all, does our conception of Socrates' motives help illuminate our understanding of the life of reason as Plato presents it By inviting a multitude of authors to contribute their thoughts on these question-all of whom share a commitment to close reading, but by no means agree on the meaning of Plato's dialogues-this book provides the reader with an excellent map of the terrain of these problems and aims to help the student of Plato clarify the tensions involved, showing especially how each major stance on Socrates entails problematic assumptions that prompt further critical reflection. 364 pp. Englisch.…
