The Memorabilia
by Xenophon
About this book
Creators: Xenophon (432 BCE-351? BCE) and Henry Graham Dakyns (1838-1911) [Translator] "The Memorabilia" by Xenophon is a collection of Socratic dialogues probably completed after 371 BC. This defense of Socrates offers edifying examples of his conversations and activities, countering charges of impiety and corrupting youth. Unlike Plato's philosophical inquiries, Xenophon presents a practical Socrates who emphasizes self-control and benefits friends through down-to-earth advice. The work profoundly influenced Cynic and Stoic philosophy, featuring early examples of the Argument from Design and Natural Law theory. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
