Socrates - A Very Short Introduction
Author(s): C C W Taylor
Socrates wrote nothing himself, and is known to us only via the writings of others. This book examines the relation of these portrayals, especially Plato's, to the historical person, and also discusses the significance of Socrates' thought to the development of Western philosophy.
