何についての本か
ソクラテスの会話の追想。彼を殺した告発から彼を弁護するために書かれた。
背景と歴史
プラトンと並ぶ、ソクラテスについてのもう一つの古代の資料であり、両者を突き合わせることが、いわゆる「ソクラテス問題」である。クセノフォンのソクラテスは実際的で、道徳的で、かなり常識的だ。プラトンのソクラテスは形而上学者である。どちらが本人に近いかは、二十四世紀のあいだ論じられてきた。 注意：この作品は二度出てくる。今日の書名と、古い表題«The Memorable Thoughts of Socrates» とである。引用するときはどちらかを言われたい。

Such being their views, and such the character of the pair, which is the more probable: that they sought the society of Socrates because they felt the fascination of his life, and were attracted by the bearing of the man? or because they thought, if only we are leagued with him we shall become adepts in statecraft and unrivalled in the arts of speech and action? For my part I believe that if the choice from Heaven had been given them to live such a life as they saw Socrates living to its close, or to die, they would both have chosen death. Their acts are a conclusive witness to their characters. They no sooner felt themselves to be the masters of those they came in contact with than they sprang aside from Socrates and plunged into that whirl of politics but for which they might never have sought his society. It may be objected: before giving his companions lessons in politics Socrates had better have taught them sobriety. (6) Without disputing the principle, I would point out that a teacher cannot fail to discover to his pupils his method of carrying out his own precepts, and this along with argumentative encouragement. Now I know that Socrates disclosed himself to his companions as a beautiful and noble being, who would reason and debate with them concerning virtue and other human interests in the noblest manner. And of these two I know that as long as they were companions of Socrates even they were temperate, not assuredly from fear of being fined or beaten by Socrates, but because they were persuaded for the nonce of the excellence of such conduct. (6) {sophrosune} = "sound-mindedness," "temperence." See below, IV. iii. 1.…
