1995507596Magnes Press Hebrew University 1995. Paperback. NEAR FINE/Very Good. SIGNED and inscribed by the author in Hebrew on the title page to fellow scholar of Jewish and Islamic philosophy Joel Kraemer. Max Schloessinger Memorial Series: Texts 8. 207pp English; 207pp Arabic. Perfectbound in printed wraps with dust jacket. Very clean sharp copy; DJ with a bit or rubbing to the extremities. From the DJ flap: 'Socrates a universal cultural figure was adopted by Islamic culture in the Middle Ages. In Islamic writings he was cited in support of various arguments in religious debates. The characteristics attributed to him in Islamic culture are mainly in the realm of ethics. Nevertheless he was also a sort of proto-Muslim sage though only infrequently was he portrayed as a systematic rationalist philosopher. His wisdom was recorded in medieval Islamic literature in the form of sayings or description of behavior in a style very reminiscent of hadith. The Arab Socrates is thus different from other philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle who were seen as systematic philosophers probably due to their writings that were translated into Arabic. For these and other reasons the figure of Socrates struck a chord among Muslims of different strata: some saw him as a prophet or a sort of prophet some as an infidel others as an ethical figure and still others as a sage par excellence. Among the more important issues in the legacy of the Arab Socrates who was sometimes confused with Diogenes was his encounter with the king and his trial and death on the one hand and his views on God this world life and death speech and silence and wisdom and stupidity on the other. The book contains some 900 items of information culled from various philosophical historical literary and theological Arabic sources. The material is organized in two main sections biography and teachings and is accompanied by footnotes indices and a detailed critical apparatus. This book complements another study by the author Socrates in Mediaeval Arabic Literature published by Magnes and Brill in 1991.'. Magnes Press Hebrew University paperback

1907151306London: Arthur L. Humphreys 1907. Finely bound edition of this collection of Plato's Socratic dialogues including “Euthyphro†“Apology†“Crito†and “Phaedoâ€. Octavo bound in half morocco over marbled boards with gilt titles to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands top edge gilt. In near fine condition. Plato c. 427–347 BCE and Socrates c. 470–399 BCE were central figures in the development of ancient Greek philosophy and the foundations of Western intellectual thought. Socrates who left no written works of his own is known primarily through the dialogues of Plato and the writings of contemporaries such as Xenophon; he is remembered for his method of philosophical inquiry based on questioning dialectic and the pursuit of ethical truth. Plato Socrates’ most famous student preserved and developed many of his teacher’s ideas in a series of philosophical dialogues that explored topics including justice knowledge virtue and the nature of reality. Through works such as The Republic Plato both commemorated Socrates’ intellectual legacy and expanded it into a comprehensive philosophical system that would shape later traditions in metaphysics ethics and political theory.
