Xenophon's portrait is the only one other than Plato's to survive, and while it offers a very personal interpretation of Socratic thought, it also reveals much about the man and his philosophical views. In 'Socrates' Defence' Xenophon defends his mentor against charges of arrogance made at his trial, while the 'Memoirs of Socrates' also starts with an impassioned plea for the rehabilitation of a wronged reputation. Along with 'The Estate-Manager', a practical economic treatise, and 'The Dinner-Party', a sparkling exploration of love, Xenophon's dialogues offer fascinating insights into the Socratic world and into the intellectual atmosphere and daily life of ancient Greece.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBTranslator: Hugh Tredennick, Robin WaterfieldContributor: Robin Waterfield (Edited by), Hugh Tredennick (Translated by), Robin Waterfield (Translated by)Genre: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 1990 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
