On Socrates - with Raphael Woolf and Peter Adamson

Peter Adamson and Raphael Woolf discuss the figure of Socrates in an episode of Peter Adamson's podcast on the History of Philosophy from a few years back. They discuss Socrates as he was presented by Plato, that is, as the gadfly of Athens. They also consider whether Socrates was an ascetic, whether it could really be true that virtue is knowledge, and whether weakness of will is really impossible.
