The Soul of Socrates by Nalin Ranasinghe

This text traces Plato's struggle to simultaneously understand and convey the erotic presence of Socrates. Most commentators have supposed Plato assumed an ironic distance from Socrates. Ranasinghe claims the dialogues reflect Plato's awe and frustration before the enigmatic figure.

Nalin Ranasinghe is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Assumption College.
