Publisher Synopsis
"In this excellent book, Rudebusch pursues this question to the heart of Socrates' ethics and concludes that Socrates is indeed a hedonist of an unusual kind....Every page of this extraordinary book offers spare but subtle argument without embellishment or distraction-a model of philosophical writing. Certainly the best book on Socratic ethics. Strongly recommended for college and university libraries."-Choice Read more...
