Abstract
This reference to the ‘historical Socrates’ has been, since Olof Gigon’s seminal book, a taboo.114 A remarkable feature of recent studies is its comeback. We find this expression in Giovanni Cerri’s account of the parallel passages on Socrates’s confrontation with contemporary physiologia; we spot it in the title of Andreas Patzer’s collection of essays, whose “aim is only one: to acquire knowledge about the historical Socrates”115. But we find it implied also in several essays of the present volume, such as those of Aldo Brancacci, Franco Trabattoni, and Michel Narcy. Recent works on the ‘way of life’ of Socrates116 seem to support this trend, as well as studies on various aspects connected with his ‘uniqueness’ and ‘outward appearance’.
