"The Dialogues of Plato: Parmenides. Theaetetus. Sophist. Statesman. Philebus" by Plato, Benjamin Jowett
Dialogues of Plato: The Apology of Socrates/Crito/Phaedo/Protagoras - Plato,Benjamin Jowett



(Original Review, 2015-08-20)



I must first admit that I know nothing about philosophy and therefore attempting a review of a book of this magnitude makes me approach it with a certain degree of trepidation. But reviews are free so why not take the plunge and as it interests me how we live within this world and make sense of it and how language both facilitate and impedes that process, I might have something to contribute if only my ignorance.

Epaminondas: "The Trial and Death of Socrates" by Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Phaedo (trans. G.M.A. Grube)
The Trial and Death of Socrates - Plato,John M. Cooper,G.M.A. Grube

(Original Review, 2000-12-02)



I'm not trying to do much more than suggest Plato isn't starting from a blank sheet but from huge trauma: the death of a way of life that produced his great teacher, Socrates, but at the same time, killed him. The jurors who vote to put Socrates to death, after listening to the speeches, are the citizens who voted to exterminate the Melians, and many other atrocities.

Athenian Politics: "Essential Thinkers" by Socrates, Plato, Aristophanes
Essential Thinkers - Socrates (Barnes & Noble Collector's Library) - Plato,Aristophanes,Socrates


(Original Review, 2004-12-02)



There was no other sphere in which to be popular: Socrates places himself right at the heart of Athenian politics, that's the point of being Socrates. He attracts pupils and supporters who will play a decisive role in the unfolding tragedy which results in the downfall of his city.

Daimonisation: "Conversations of Socrates" by Xenophon, Hugh Tredennick (trans.)
Conversations of Socrates - Xenophon,Hugh Tredennick,Robin A.H. Waterfield



(Original Review, 2002-06-23)



Socrates was also interesting because of his physicality....His routine was to spend the morning exercising then the afternoon in the market place on his mission. He was extremely fit and brave, fighting in three campaigns, the last aged 50, and honoured for his bravery in battle. He was terrifying apparently. Also he had a kind of walk that was unusual, a kind of gait that would strike fear into potential enemies.
