The Socratic Concept of the Care of the Self Based on the Analysis of Aeschines' Alcibiades (fr. SSR VI A 50).

This paper deals with Aeschines' dialogue Alcibiades, in which the Socratic concept of the care of the self (epimeleia heautou) is demonstrated. The authors present basic strategies that modern historians have employed when interpreting the dialogue and propose their own interpretation, based on a reconstruction of the testimony preserved by Aelius Aristides.
