When Socrates came to his workshop and began to converse, he used to make notes of all that he could remember. And this is why people apply the term ‘“‘leathern” to his dialogues. These dialogues are thirty-three in number, extant in a single volume : Of the Gods. Of the Good. On the Beautiful. What is the Beautiful. On the Just: two dialogues. Of Virtue, that it cannot be taught. Of Courage: three dialogues. On Law. On Guiding the People. Of Honour.
