Their works have been studied by countless scholars over the generations; but rarely have they been brought into direct contact, outside of their use in relation to the Socratic problem. This volume changes that, by offering a collection of articles containing comparative analyses of almost the entire range of Plato's and Xenophon's writings, approaching them from literary, philosophical and historical perspectives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This volume is a landmark of how far the new wave in Socratic studies has traveled. At the same time, it presents an opportunity to assess how much of the remaining so-called Socratic problem resists dissolution. This will be a collection of interest to all scholars working in Socratic studies and a necessary addition to any research library.\" - Vincent Renzi, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2019.06.32  \"[T]hese essays offer much to the students of Xenophon, Plato and other Socratics. (...) Morrison provides a helpful index of places. The result well justifies the price.\" - David J. Murphy, in: CJ-Online, 2019.11.03   \"[T]his volume, Plato and Xenophon, has the great merit of opening a number of paths to the investigation of the subject and overcoming a number of inadvisable simplifications, all that while an impressive 'Xenophon Renaissance'  is flourishing.\" - Livio Rossetti, in: Scripta Classica Israelica 40, 2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements Notes on Contributors   Introduction to the Comparative Study of Plato and Xenophon  Gabriel Danzig   Introduction to This Volume  David Johnson   Part 1 Methods   Comparative Exegesis and the Socratic Problem  Louis-André Dorion   Xenophon’s Intertextual Socrates  David Johnson   Division and Collection: A New Paradigm for the Relationship between Plato and Xenophon  William H.F.
