内容説明

With Plato's "Euthydemus", Thomas Chance solves a long-standing riddle of Platonic studies. Thought to be an early, immature work, the "Euthydemus" has come across to scholars as lacking Plato's characteristic greatness. This apparent lack, Chance argues, is not a failure of the text but of scholarly perception. He advances a single thesis: that Plato deliberately presents eristic - contentious debate - as the antithesis to his own philosophical method. Once this thesis is accepted, the "hidden" purpose of the "Euthydemus" becomes manifest: Plato has used the occasion of his dialogue to combine a crafted parody of sophistic antilogy with a subtle yet forceful exhortation designed to persuade all of us to pursue virtue and to love wisdom.
