Whatever the exact nature of the daimonion, they never give the impression that Socrates' reactions to it were foolish or irrational. **--** TABLE OF CONTENTS: Luc Brisson, ‘Socrates and the Divine Signal according to Plato's Testimony: Philosophical Practice as Rooted in Religious Tradition'; Mark L.
