The Memorabilia

Meer over het boek

Exploring the life and philosophy of Socrates, Xenophon, a philosopher and former student, presents a collection of dialogues in The Memorabilia. Written years after Socrates' trial, this work offers a broader appreciation of his teachings rather than a direct defense against the charges he faced. Xenophon argues for Socrates' innocence regarding accusations of impiety and corrupting the youth, providing insight into the enduring impact of his mentor's ideas on ethics and society.
