Socrates and the Socratic Dialogue assembles the most complete range of studies on Socrates and the Socratic dialogue. It focuses on portrayals of Socrates, whether as historical figure or protagonist of 'Socratic dialogues', in extant and fragmentary texts from Classical Athens through Late Antiquity. Special attention is paid to the evolving power and texture of the Socratic icon as it adopted old and new uses in philosophy, biography, oratory, and literature. Chapters in this volume focus on Old Comedy, Sophistry, the first-generation Socratics including Plato and Xenophon, Aristotle and Aristoxenus, Epicurus and Stoicism, Cicero and Persius, Plutarch, Apuleius and Maximus, Diogenes Laertius, Libanius, Themistius, Julian, and Proclus.

Alessandro Stavru, Ph.D. (2003) Naples, holds a teaching appointment at Bocconi University (Milan). He has published extensively on Socrates, the Socratics, ancient and modern aesthetics, and the History of Classical Scholarship. He has organized with Livio Rossetti the series of Socratica conferences and edited the Proceedings arising from them (2008, 2010, 2013). He belongs to the Editorial Board of the International Socrates Studies (ISS).

Christopher Moore, Ph.D. (2008) University of Minnesota, is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Classics at the Pennsylvania State University, and has written frequently on Heraclitus, Aristophanes, Socrates and the Socratics, and Plato, including Socrates and Self-Knowledge (Cambridge, 2015).
