Socrates the stoic? Rethinking protreptic, eudaimonism, and the role of Plato's socratic dialogues
| Abstract | In the Euthydemus, Socrates and young Cleinias agree, "Not one of the other things is good or bad, but of these two, one—wisdom—is good, and the other—ignorance—is bad" (281e3-5).1 To some, this is the outrageous and characteristically Stoic claim that wisdom is the only good. | |||||||||
