Socrates himself would be inconceivable without the Sophists since he is one of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSocrates is given major prominence. Plato, Aristotle, and all of Hellenistic philosophy are deeply impregnated with his words and spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe teachings of the Minor Socratics are interpreted as one-sided reductions of the pluralistic values of Socratic thought and as anticipations of some issues that explode later in the Hellenistic Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two appendices. The first concerns Orphism and contains a series of documents indispensable for the comprehension of some aspects of pre-Socratic and Platonic thought.
