Ancient & Medieval Philosophy -- David L. Rouse
- Because most of what was written about Socrates was by Plato, it is hard to distinguish the doctrines of the historical Socrates from that of his disciple.
- He probably had a strong interest in the theory of definition, though he did not develop the theory of the separable forms.
- He probably held to the doctrine of the unity of the virtues, that one could not know or practice one of the virtues without knowing and practicing them all.
