It seeks at the same time to advance new views arguments and information on Socrates' mission techniques ethics and later reception. Composed of new essays by different scholars some of them primarily Hellenists some philosophers it illustrates both the variety of Plato's literary portrayals of Socrates and the diversity of later and present-day approaches to him.
