Abstract: Remembering Socrates is a collection of twelve papers presented at a conference held in 2001 in Athens and Delphi to commemorate the 2400th anniversary of Socrates' death. Since the full proceedings had been edited by V. Karasmanis under the title Socrates: 2400 Years since his Death (Delphi: European Cultural Centre of Delphi, 2004), the publication of the present volume, which contains a selection of the papers presented in 2001, gave the editors (and presumably the authors) the opportunity for a second process of distillation. The yield is as follows: C. Natali, ‘Socrates' Dialectic in Xenophon's Memorabilia’; G. Seel, ‘If You Know What is Best, You Do It: Socratic Intellectualism in Xenophon and Plato’; C.H. Kahn, ‘Socrates and Hedonism’; T. Irwin, ‘Socrates and Euthyphro: the Argument and its Revival’; L. Brown, ‘Did Socrates Agree to Obey the Laws of Athens?’; V. Politis, ‘Aporia and Searching in the Early Plato’; D. Charles, ‘Types of Definition in the Meno’; V. Karasmanis, ‘Definition in Plato's Meno’; T. Scaltsas, ‘Sharing a Property’; C.C.W. Taylor, ‘Socrates the Sophist’; J.M. Cooper, ‘Arcesilaus: Socratic and Sceptic’; M. Frede, ‘The Early Christian Reception of Socrates’.
