Conversations with Socrates (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

This edition includes a modern introduction and a list of suggested further reading.

Socrates (469-399 BCE) is the first person known to have lived a life fully devoted to thinking. Teeming with exchanges between the revered guru Socrates and various Athenians, Conversations with Socrates shows Socrates as engaging and sagacious. According to his follower Xenophon, Socrates communicates in ways that even the unphilosophical and harried reader will find impressive, memorable, and greatly useful.
