Gomez-Lobo (Georgetown University) argues that behind the facade of Socratic irony lies a strictly deductive system of ethics suspended from twin axioms, one governing practical rationality and the other specifying the ingredients of the good life. But Plato, he says, tried to found Socrates' ethics on a metaphysical principle.

"An indisputably noble tome that touches base with all the obvious ingredients, it has much to commend it..." -- Practical Philosophy, Autumn 2002.
