Socrates Dissatisfied by Roslyn Weiss
Challenging the standard conception of the history of political thought, Roslyn Weiss proposes that political philosophy begins not with the superemacy of the state over the citizen but with the primacy of the citizen in his deliberative exercise of reason with respect to justice.
If one examines Socrates Dissatisfied within the framework that Weiss chose to examine the Crito, her study is of interest and is worthy of examination* Polis *
A genuinely valuable contribution to the literature on the Crito. It gives the alternative to the standard view of the dialogue a serious run for its money. And it is the work of an author who has paid scrupulous attention to the many details of the dialogue's structure and content, and whose reading has, to a very large extent, sought to accommodate them. Weiss' work on the dialogue has set a standard for others to follow. * Classical Philology *
