Aeschines of Sphettus is a Socratic author that deserves more attention than he actually gets, as he is, besides Plato and Xenophon, the only Socratic who left substantial literary records. The present paper focuses on his representation of Socrates’ educational activity. Aeschines’ Socrates does not only disavow any technical capability to make the others better, but he entrusts the educational work to an unpredictable “divine dispensation” which simply means a factor that escapes the educator’s control. Not unlike Alcibiades, who is the target of Socratic educational endeavour in Aeschines’ dialogue, the author himself must have experienced in his life that achievement of virtue cannot be simply transferred from educator to educated, but requires a strong personal commitment.

The paper offers a reconstruction of Antisthenes’ understanding of practical wisdom, based on the comparison of doxographic reports on Antisthenes with Xenophon’s portrait of the philosopher. The comparison shows that Antisthenes links wisdom with perseverance and self-control – with an asceticism that results in excellent decisions. The therapeutic function of wisdom consists in eliminating all deceptive assumptions about what it means to live a good life. However, wisdom alone is not enough for anyone to live a happy life. Wisdom requires Socratic education, i.e. instructions concerning our attitudes to others as well as ourselves.The paper offers a reconstruction of Antisthenes’ understanding of practical wisdom, based on the comparison of doxographic reports on Antisthenes with Xenophon’s portrait of the philosopher.
