The Socratic Paradox and Its Enemies

The Socratic Paradox and Its Enemies

by RWeiss (Author)

Synopsis

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.
