The socratic paradox and its enemies
Author:Roslyn Weiss

Summary:Argues that the Socratic paradoxes are best understood as Socrates' way of combating sophistic views: that no one is willingly just, those who are just and temperate are ignorant fools, and only some virtues (courage and wisdom) but not others (justice, temperance, and piety) are marks of true excellence.

Contents:
Introduction : The fight for justice
The Protagoras : "our salvation in life"
The Gorgias : how ought a human being to live?
TheHippias minor : "if there be such a man"
The Meno : desiring bad things and getting them
Republic 4 : "everyone desires good things"
Laws 9 : all just things are beautiful
Conclusion : Socrates reconsidered

xii, 235 pages ; 24 cm
