Reason and Religion in Socratic Philosophy [Hardcover]

This volume brings together mostly previously unpublished studies by prominent historians, classicists, and philosophers on the roles and effects of religion in Socratic philosophy and on the trial of Socrates. Among the contributors are Thomas C. Brickhouse, Asli Gocer, Richard Kraut, Mark L. McPherran, Robert C. T. Parker, C. D. C. Reeve, Nicholas D. Smith, Gregory Vlastos, Stephen A. White, and Paul B. Woodruff.

It does not take long for the reader to see that the level of argument in this book is very high and that new ground has been broken in several areas...there is no doubt that someone who wishes to pursue the nature of Socratic religion in detail not only will have to read it but must chew and digest its many valuable insights. In sum, it is a worthwhile contribution to an important subject. --Journal of the American Academy of Religion
