Thus, Plato rendered his becoming discoverable only to readers truly invested. In \u003ci\u003eHow Socrates Became Socrates\u003c\/i\u003e, Laurence Lampert recognizes the path of Plato's strides and guides us through the true account of Socrates' becoming. He divulges how and why Plato ordered his \u003ci\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Parmenides\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Symposium\u003c\/i\u003e chronologically to give readers access to Socrates' development on philosophy's fundamental questions of being and knowing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In addition to a careful and precise analysis of Plato's \u003ci\u003ePhaedo, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eParmenides, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSymposium, \u003c\/i\u003e Lampert shows that properly entwined, Plato's three dialogues fuse to portray a young thinker entering philosophy's true radical power. Lampert reveals why this radicality needed to be guarded and places this discussion within the greater scheme of the politics of philosophy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurence Lampert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 022674633X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226746333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2024","brand":"Laurence Lampert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987495715071,"sku":"9780226746333","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcb3bed5-4011-4201-aec5-84adbbc83534.jpg?v=1683289328","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/how-socrates-became-socrates-laurence-lampert-9780226746333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
