Overview

'Moore and Raymond's Charmides is very impressive. The translation is excellent, and the Introduction and notes guide the reader into thorny problems in a way that renders them understandable: e.g., how to translate sphrosune, why we should care about self-knowledge, or how to seek to clarify important ethico-political concepts. The result provides almost all of what an instructor will need to introduce this unjustly neglected dialogue into a syllabus. Moreover, the volume is a wide-ranging resource for specialists. Students of the 'Socratic Dialogues' will profit greatly from this admirable contribution.' - David J. Murphy is co-editor of Antiphontis et Andocidis Orationes (Oxford) and author of The Basis of the Text of Plato's Charmides (Mnemosyne) and many other contributions on the Charmides. He lives in New York City.
