Livre Edition originale
Cloth. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Why Socrates Died.A renowned classicist and the translator of such thinkers as Plutarch, Plato, and Xenophon, Robin Waterfield here reconsiders the most famous trial and execution in Western civilization. As Waterfield recounts the story, the charges against Socrates of impiety and corrupting the youth of Athens were already enough for a death sentence, but the prosecutors accused him of more, including mentoring those responsible for defeat in the Peloponnesian War. Waterfield demonstrates that there was a great deal of truth, from an Athenian perspective, in these charges, but more importantly, he is able in this context to remove layers of myth from the event and give us a clearer portrait of Socrates himself."The analysis will surprise readers accustomed to viewing Socrates' accusers as paranoid defenders of religious superstitions. For a careful parsing of the evidence reveals that when Athenian judges condemned Socrates, they were defending principles still cherished by most 21st-century readers: namely, the principles of democracy. Waterfield convincingly establishes that Socrates fell under hostile suspicion largely because of his close ties to young students of deeply anti-democratic sympathies. One of these arrogant young men joined other oligarchs in conspiring against Athens during its bitter war against Sparta; another scripted the atrocities committed by the Thirty Tyrants when they temporarily overthrew Athens' democratic government. Waterfield shows that even Socrates' own belief in an ideal government by experts legitimated elitist, not democratic, governance. Such a belief, readers soon realize, would have appeared particularly menacing to Athenian democrats traumatized by the twin shocks of external assault and internal discord. Impressive scholarship redefining an iconic event." Contents: List of Illustrations. Preface. Acknowledgements. Key Dates. Maps. The Trial of Socrates. The War Years. Crisis and Conflict. The Condemnation of Socrates. Glossary. References. Bibliography. Index. Illustrated.

Etat : Antiquarian. Faber and Faber, London, 2009. XXV,253p. Hardbound wrps. Nice copy. Au milieu de tant de scories qui encombrent les catalogues de maisons d'édition sur un tel sujet, voici un bon livre. On y retrouve cette qualité d'écriture inaccoutumée en de tels ouvrages qu'on avait déjà appréciée avec le précédent livre de Robin Waterfield sur l'Anabase de Xénophon, elle allie clarté et précision et rend la lecture toujours très agréable, souvent originale, une lecture enrichissante en raison aussi de la bonne maîtrise du dossier par l'auteur. (PIERRE BRULÉ in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2009.10.30). Antiquarian.
