内容简介
苏格拉底谈话的追记，写来为他辩护，驳斥那些要了他命的指控。
背景与流传
除柏拉图之外关于苏格拉底的另一个古代材料，而把两者对读就是所谓的「苏格拉底问题」：色诺芬笔下的苏格拉底务实、讲道德，而且相当合乎常规；柏拉图笔下的那个是形而上学家。哪一个更接近真人，人们争了二十四个世纪。 注意：这部作品出现了两次，一次用今天的书名，一次用旧题《The Memorable Thoughts of Socrates》。引用时请说明是哪一条。

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.…
