What is Socrates and Aristophanes about?

321 pages ; 25 cm This book derives from Professor Leo Strauss' lifelong concern with Socrates as the founder of political philosophy. The earliest known document dealing with Socrates is not any of the Platonic dialoges, but Aristophanes' comedy The clouds. This comedy is important not only for the light it casts on Socrates but also because, properly understood, it leads more directly than any other Aristophanean comedy to the basic stratum of the poet's thought Includes bibliographical references (page 315-320) and index
