Xanthippe, a comedy

von Gregory E. Mantell

92 Seiten, Hardcover

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

An irreverent look at the stormy marriage of Socrates and Xanthippe. In the words of the author, "Xanthippe is not a play about a shrew, or a taming of a shrew. It is, in fact, a comic dialog, an anti-dialog--a parody of Plato's Symposium and Plato's dialogs in general. Moreover, by challenging Plato's portrayal of Socrates, Xanthippe seeks to raise a larger philosophical issue about the value of philosophy itself.
