The Death of Socrates is a richly insightful interpretation of the four Platonic dialogues that place Socrates in direct confrontation with human mortality The Euthyphro Apology Crito and Phaedo each present an element of the Socratic vision of death of the appearance of life in the face of death and how death ultimately is to be met Guardinis interpretation eschews both theoretical considerationdespite the allure that the idealism of Platonic thought holds for such an endeavorand synoptic historical analysis and placement of Platonism Instead he enters into Platos thought in order to approach and access the truth itself This method gives pride of place to the texts of the dialogues themselves in all their literary and philosophical wealthPoised and precise The Death of Socrates is an excellent resource for new pupils and seasoned scholars alike of Plato and Guardini

Since first reported to the world in 1780 the death of Captain Cook on a Hawaiian beach the previous year has been revered celebrated and shrouded in mystery Simultaneously called a hero and an antihero a ruthless invader and a torchbearer of the Enlightenment Cooks reputation grew as much out of the moving story of his death as out of his adventures while he lived In a style that is more detective story than conventional biography Glyn Williams explores the multiple narratives of Cooks death He reveals how the British Admiralty first attempted to censor accounts of Cooks erratic behavior and how the authorized version of his deatha lengthy narrative serialized in the leading publications of the dayreduced the story to the final hours of a noble leader who gave his life to save others Williams argues that the contrary evidence of a chaotic bloody fracas on the beach at Kealakekua Bay was ignored and that the unexplained disappearance of Cooks own journal helped the process of concealment He believes that Cook was not entirely the man sanctified by the British public More than two hundred years later an explosive interplay between academic controversy and nationalist feelings has once more drawn attention to a life that has attracted praise and controversy abhorrence and admiration In short Williams examines the story of Cooks progress from obscurity to fame and eventually to infamya story that until now has never been fully told
