What is the theme in Four Texts on Socrates: Plato's Euthyphro, Apology, and Crito and Aristophanes' Clouds by Thomas G. West?

The noble philosophical life is a theme in the text. Socrates is the main character of Four Texts on Socrates and Socrates' most distinctive personality feature is his unrelentingly pursuit of truth. He is not merely interested in the pursuit of some particular truth, such as an answer to a scientific problem or a quest to solve a theological worry. Instead, he is interested in truth per se. He engages in all manner of inquiry, physics and astronomy when younger but more 'pure' philosophical topics as he ages.
