Abstract
Abstract In 1991 Gregory Vlastos published Socrates: Ironist and Moral Philosopher.The thesis of this book was the claim that we can find in the early dialogues of Plato, when certain embarrassing passages have been excised, reinterpreted, or relegated to a ‘transitional’ period, the philosophy of the historical Socrates. Vlastos argued that there were two portraits of Socrates in Plato’s works, which he labelled ‘SocratesE’ and ‘SocratesM’, for the Socrates of the early and middle dialogues, respectively. These two Socrateses held antithetical views.
