Description: There have been many recent studies on the Apology. This book differs from them in that it attempts a synthesis of philosophical and literary approaches. A great deal of attention is paid to the philosophical and religious views that are present - often implicitly-in the text; they are much closer to the philoso- phy of Plato's main works than is usually assumed. But the Apology is also analysed as a rhetorical text: its close relationship with fourth-century rhetorical theory and practice is highlighted. The analyses of the various parts of the speech are followed by a detailed line-by-line commentary. The work was started by E. de Strycker SJ; after his death, it was revised and completed by S. R. Slings. E. de Strycker sj was Professor of Classics at the Universitary Faculties Saint-Ignatius at Antwerp until his death in 1978. S. R. Slings is Professor of Greek at the Free University at Amsterdam.
