Excerpt from Socrates and Plato: A Criticism of Professor A. E. Taylor's 'Varia Socratica'
Professor A. E. Taylor, in his book, Varia Socratira, and Professor Burnet, in the introduction to his recent edition of the Phaedo, have challenged the traditional view of the character and teaching of Socrates and his relation to Plato. The view which they attack has been long held in England (though not abroad) almost without question. But the support of two such names must lend great weight to the opposite side, and makes it incumbent on those who still hold to the traditional view to produce strong arguments for their belief. The present paper is a modest attempt in this direction. It makes no claim to be based on original research or to put forward original opinions. The evidence which it contains is familiar to all who have studied the subject. But it has seemed worth while to collect it together in a compendious form, that its strength may be better realised. Nor is it claimed that all the evidence on the whole question has been examined. It is only the witnesses for the defence, the evidence on one side of the question that is here put forward. Whether it outweighs the testimony which the two skilled advocates on the other side have collected is a matter for the jury of those interested in the question. But the case at least ought not to be allowed to go by default.

Socrates and Plato: A Criticism of Professor A. E. Taylor's 'Varia Socratica'
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book critically examines the traditional view of Socrates, as presented by Plato, and challenges whether the portrayal of Socrates as a philosopher who believed in the immortality of the soul, the Theory of Ideas, and who was deeply involved with Orphic and Pythagorean sects, is an accurate representation of the real man. The author presents evidence from Xenophon, Aristotle, and Plato himself to argue that the traditional view is flawed and that Socrates was more of a practical moralist, focused on ethical questions, rather than a speculative philosopher concerned with abstract ideas. The book offers a fresh perspective on Socrates, challenging long-held assumptions and providing a more nuanced understanding of his philosophy and its historical context. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
