Elsewhere, however, for example in Plato's Republic, Plato's Socrates presents radical and grandiose theses. In this book Sandra Peterson offers a hypothesis which explains the puzzle of Socrates' two contrasting manners. She argues that the apparently confident doctrinal Socrates is in fact conducting the first step of an examination: by eliciting his interlocutors' reactions, his apparently doctrinal lectures reveal what his interlocutors believe is the best way to live. She tests her hypothesis by close reading of passages in the Theaetetus, Republic and Phaedo. Her provocative conclusion, that there is a single Socrates whose conception and practice of philosophy remain the same throughout the dialogues, will be of interest to a wide range of readers in ancient philosophy and classics. 517 3 $aSocrates & Philosophy in the Dialogues of Plato 606 $aPhilosophy 615 0$aPhilosophy. 676 $a184 686 $aPHI002000$2bisacsh 700 $aPeterson$b Sandra$f1940-$01687885 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816250503321 996 $aSocrates and philosophy in the dialogues of Plato$94061701 997 $aUNINA
