Opis

Xenophon’s Socratic Works demonstrates that Xenophon, a student of Socrates, military man, and man of letters, is an indispensable source for our understanding of the life and philosophy of Socrates.

Recenzje

"As will be no surprise to readers of Johnson’s published articles on Xenophon, his book deserves to establish itself as the leading English-language monograph on the Socratic works... What is more (and this is a tribute to Xenophon as much as to Johnson), it should prove equally attractive to those of literary, historical, and philosophical interests." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
