Extract
The stream of publications on Socrates and his legacy – including, of course, the nature and extent of Plato's ‘Socraticism’ – continues to flow copiously. This review will consider a sample of titles which have appeared in the last four or five years (several of which have also been released in paperback form more recently). They embody a variety of research aims and approaches, and reflect some of the methodological issues involved in the enterprise of Socratic studies.
