Description

Explore the depth of ancient philosophical inquiry with Plato's Socratic Conversations: Drama and Dialectic in Three Dialogues. Published by Bloomsbury, this academic study provides a detailed examination of the Laches, Protagoras, and the dialogue between Socrates and Agathon in the Symposium. This work presents a specific strategy of interpretation that focuses on the interrogatory nature of these dialogues. The author, Stokes, argues against ascribing a fixed thesis to Socrates or Plato unless a belief is unambiguously asserted. Instead, the text explores how Socrates performs his role by cross-examining his interlocutors. By drawing arguments from the explicit admissions of the respondents, the study offers a clear look at the dialectic method in practice. Ideal for students and scholars of literary theory and history, this book provides a rigorous analysis of how Socrates uses cross-examination to build his arguments. It serves as a valuable resource for those studying the mechanics of Socratic dialogue and the structural drama within Plato's written works.
