Autor S.R. Slings Contribuţii de E. de Strycker
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 sep 1994
There have been many recent studies on the Apology. This book differs from them in that it attempts a synthesis of philosophical and literary approaches. A great deal of attention is paid to the philosophical and religious views that are present—often implicitly—in the text; they are much closer to the philosophy of Plato's main works than is usually assumed. But the Apology is also analysed as a rhetorical text: its close relationship with fourth-century rhetorical theory and practice is highlighted.
The analyses of the various parts of the speech are followed by a detailed line-by-line commentary.
The work was started by E. de Strycker, S.J.; after his death, it was revised and completed by S.R. Slings.

Recenzii

'This English-language "supplement" to Burnet's 1924 Oxford commentary on the Apology, aimed at "students and scholars with a good working knowledge of Greek" is continental scholarship at its best...serious Greekless investigators into Socrates will need to consult this volume as carfully as the comparable work of Brickhouse and Smith.'
Carl W. Conrad, Religious Studies Review, 1995.
'...it will serve as a valuable groundwork for future studies of the dialogue.'
Robin Waterfield, The Classical Review, 1996.
'This is not popularisation but an important work of research, its importance reinforced by the distinction of the two scholars cheifly concerned...this book contains some of the most valuabel work published on Plato's Ap. for many years. Among other good things, it lays out with a clarity far beyond even Burnet, and with impressive detail, the rhetorical stucture of the first speech; it trenchantly rejects scholarly excesses such as J. Coulter's surprisingly popular theory that Plato's Ap. imitates Gorgias' Palamedes; it offers textual suggestions all worth consideration and some convincing; and on numerous, diverse points such as the relation of Socrates' political views to his accusers' motives, and the meaning of terms used in the exordium, it weds deep learning to sound judgment. Truly no serious student of Plato's Apology of Socrates can afford to neglect this book.
M.C. Stokes, Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie, 1996.
