Synopsis
This book delves into the life and work of Isocrates, a prominent Athenian orator and political theorist who lived during the turbulent 4th century BC. The author explores the key events of Isocrates’ life, including his early training under the influential Socrates and his later association with leading sophists. The text sheds light on his evolution from a writer of legal speeches to a celebrated educator and influential political essayist. The book examines Isocrates's vision for a unified Greece, a vision fueled by his deep patriotism and concern for the instability and decay plaguing the Greek city-states. The author delves into Isocrates's complex relationship with Philip of Macedon, the rising power who eventually unified Greece under his rule. The author thoughtfully explores the potential for Isocrates's support for Philip to be seen as misguided or even traitorous, but also argues for his underlying loyalty to Greek ideals. The book offers a nuanced examination of Isocrates's political thought, revealing his profound insights into the social and political dynamics of his time, and highlighting the enduring relevance of his ideas on leadership, national unity, and the evolving role of the individual within the state.
