The Trials of Socrates by Plato

The Trials of Socrates by Plato

Although present-day (like ancient Greek) opinion on "the real Socrates" diverges widely, six classic texts that any informed judgment of him must take into account appear together, for the first time, in this volume.

As good an introduction to the basic texts and to the historical and philosophical issues surrounding [Socrates] as can be provided today--John Bulwer, The Joint Association of Classical Teachers Review

An excellent production; good, readable translations; helpful and reliable, but not intrusive supplementary material; and a very useful selection of texts. --Margaret Graver, Dartmouth College

In virtue of their exceptional accuracy, neutrality, and readability, Reeve's translations of the Platonic texts in The Trials of Socrates are recommended (especially for the Greekless undergraduate) as a significant improvement over their predecessors. --Vernon Provencal, Mouseion

C. D. C. Reeve is Professor of Philosophy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
