note = {"You shouldn't be afraid of death". This is the theme of the
“Axiochus”. Socrates tries to help Axiochus to overcome the fear
of death by using a variety of arguments. This consolatory dialogue
suggests an indirect comparison between two opposite concepts of
reality. Overcoming the fear of death entails a particular insight
into the problem of the nature of man and of the cosmos and leads to
reflect on the relationship between the search for happiness and the
search for truth.This book offers an extensive study on the
pseudo-Platonic “Axiochus”. The introductory essay places the
“Axiochus” in a definite historical context. The new critical
edition is based on a comprehensive study of the manuscript tradition.
The new Italian translation and the extensive lemmatic commentary
