Socratic, Platonic and Aristotelian Studies: Essays in Honor of Gerasimos Santas

Part of the book series: Philosophical Studies Series ((PSSP,volume 117))

Abstract

The publication of Gerasimos Santas’ book Socrates in 1979 helped to initiate the resurgence of the study of Socrates that continues from that time through to the present day.1 Prior to its appearance, for example, there existed only quite general studies of Socratic thought, ranging from A. E. Taylor’s venerable 1932 Socrates to Norman Gulley’s 1968 The Philosophy of Socrates. Even subsequent to the publication of Santas’ book, the next major work on Socrates to appear—Gregory Vlastos’ Socrates: Ironist and Moral Philosopher (1990)—was still a decade away.
