	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 03.03.20
		Vlastos insists that Plato could not portray Socrates as cheating, knowing himself that the arguments are misleading, and claim that Socrates was "the most just" of all men he had ever known.
		Vlastos continues to argue against Irwin's view that for Socrates virtue is purely instrumental to happiness; and he distinguishes Socrates' view from the view we associate with the Stoics, that virtue is completely constitutive of happiness ("The Identity Thesis," a version of which he himself held previously).
		Vlastos offers an elaborate and subtle argument to show that the passages which seem to show quite clearly that Socrates held a view of eudaemonism consistent with the Identity Thesis are also consistent with the Sufficiency Thesis; and he offers other textual evidence to support the Sufficiency Thesis as Socrates'.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 94.10.04
		As Vlastos proclaims, "Socrates has been and always will be my philosophical hero (133)." Not surprisingly therefore, the attempted recovery of Socrates' philosophy is also a defense of it and perforce a criticism, rather muted in these two volumes, of Plato's innovations.
		Vlastos' interpretation is set squarely against at least two longstanding alternatives.
		This is the knowledge Vlastos claims that Socrates believes he has acquired by means of the refutation of the claims of his interlocutors.

	Chapter One: Vlastos’ Argument
		Vlastos may be correct that the aim of elenchus was the knowledge of true and false, but this does not mean Socrates attained it.
		Vlastos did not think that there was reason to believe that Socrates thought that the truths in the domain of … mathematics...were to be ascertained by elenctic argument.
		Vlastos was not presenting a new position (when he claimed that in addition to true belief Socrates had knowledge) because when we look closer we can see that the knowledge he claimed Socrates had was not true knowledge, but merely belief.

	Parmenides Publishing: Publications: Gregory Vlastos
		Starting with the Presocratics, Vlastos describes the intellectual revolution that began with the cosmogonies of Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes in the sixth century B.C. and culminated a century later in the atomist system of Leucippus and Democritus.
		In a detailed analysis of the astronomical and physical theories of the Timaeus, Vlastos demonstrates Plato's role in the reception and transmission of the discovery of the new conception of the universe.
		Plato gives us the chance to see that movement from a unique perspective: that of a fierce opponent of the revolution who was determined to wrest from its brilliant discovery, annex its cosmos, and redesign it on the pattern of his own idealistic and theistic metaphysics.

	PES Yearbook: 1998: Rob Reich, Confusion about the Socratic Method
		Gregory Vlastos, who devoted his entire life to Socratic scholarship, reflects that the Socratic method is Socrates' "greatest contribution" and moreover, one which ranks "among the greatest achievements of humanity."
		The results of Socrates' life, the conclusions he drew about how we ought to live, Vlastos argues, are less important than the manner in which he conducted his life, the style of inquiry he originated and bequeathed to future generations.
		Vlastos queries, "How is it that Socrates claims to have proved the thesis false when, in point of logic, all he has proved is that the thesis is inconsistent with the conjunction of the agreed-upon premises for which no reason has been given in the argument.

	Jason L. Mallory: Plato, Feminism and Semantics / Labyrinth vol. 3, Winter 2001
		Vlastos, moreover, is certain that Plato will be able to be claimed as a feminist, if “his ideas, sentiments, and proposals for social policy are in line with this norm” (1994, 12).
		Vlastos argues that Plato’s reproachful remarks against women are illustrative of his elitist mind, one that is contemptuous of the current corrupt politics of his time.
		Vlastos concludes that Plato counts as a feminist because a somewhat lax and minimalist definition of the term is utilized.

		Vlastos takes pains not to outrun his evidence, and when he does, to be very clear about it.
		Vlastos equates the Vietnam War with the Peloponnesian War, and faults Socrates for staying silent regarding atrocities committed in that war by Athens.
		While Professor Vlastos, like Socrates, is dead and can't defend himself, nevertheless it seems to me that Vlastos' naive and doctrinaire support of Communist regimes in both Vietnam and Central America was in harmony with the views of his fellow academics and much of the American electorate, and carried negligible personal risk.

		Vlastos writes very clearly and makes his arguments step by step so that there is no mistaking his point, which you are then able to judge for yourself.
		Vlastos spent his life studying Socrates, and no doubt developed strong feelings for the object of his study, but it seems to me that he goes to great lengths to acknowledge evidence contradicting his own conclusions.
		Gregory Vlastos was the most celebrated scholar of classical Greek philosophy in the last third of the twentieth century, if not the most important of the past hundred years.

	Gary Alan Scott - Does Socrates Have a Method' Rethinking the Elenchus in Plato's Dialogues and Beyond - Reviewed by ...
		Vlastos himself thought of Socrates as essentially a moral philosopher, and so as aware of the depth of theory that generated his particular ethical statements and arguments.
		Vlastos himself had since the 1950s been fascinated with the idea that Platoâs Socrates had a distinctive method of argument, not merely a distinctive set of ethical views, even though Socrates never raised this implicit methodology to the level of conscious examination.
		Vlastos tenaciously attempted to reconstruct what Socrates must have presupposed to deploy this method, a method Vlastos dubbed âthe elenchus,â following the lead of the pioneering work of Richard Robinson.

		Although what Vlastos argues to be the thought of the historical Socrates is not unfamiliar, what is remarkable about his presentation is the clarity with which he handles the details of the textual evidence and incorporates his understanding of Socratic irony--the key, as he sees it, to understanding Socratic thought--into his explication.
		Although Neoptolemus eventually acts justly out of his true character, his struggle, it seems, disqualifies him from "embracing" the principle, presumably in the mannner that Socrates did so.
		Moreover, Vlastos offers examples-- choosing to sleep in a clean rather than a filthy bed, and the situation of Job before and after Satan tests him--to show that choices about non-moral goods do, in fact, add to our happiness.

		Reviewed by Lloyd P. Gerson -- University of Toronto In 1991 Gregory Vlastos published an extraordinarily learned and provocative book, Socrates.
		One can certainly argue that Socrates' refusal to obey the orders of the Thirty was not a refusal to obey a true "superior".
		They are a splendid example of how philology and analytic philosophy can together be used to recover ancient wisdom.

		“Gregory Vlastos' influence on the study of Greek philosophy, notably of the Presocratics and Plato, has been great and admirable.
		His papers on Plato were collected in 1973, but this is his first book.
		Professor Vlastos' master-question is: "did the Greek really discover what we now mean by 'science'?" His answer is: No, but they discovered "the conception of the cosmos that is presupposed by natural science and by its practice".
