The First Part of Xenophon's Memorabilia of Socrates, with a Literal Interlinear Translation: Illustrated with Notes, on the Plan Recommended by Mr. Locke (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The First Part of Xenophon's Memorabilia of Socrates, With a Literal Interlinear Translation: Illustrated With Notes, on the Plan Recommended by Mr. Locke

It is well known that one favorite method of argumentation adopted by Socrates, was a repeti tion of interrogatories addressed to the party he wished to instruct or to confute, thus convincing his hearers not so much by his own assertions, as by the inevitable admissions of his adversary. Consequently a great part of the present work will be found to consist of alternate question and an swer, which variety imparts a liveliness to the dis cussion of subjects, that might be less attractive if presented in a more didactic form.
