The Living Wisdom Of Socrates : Unlocking The Wisdom Of One Of The Greatest Thinkers Of All Time
By
Mark Forstater
One of the key figures in history, Socrates has always been of interest to readers for the celebrated wisdom and strength of character displayed until his dramatic death at the hands of the Athenian state in 399 BCE. Unique among philosophers, the remarkable stories, incidents and dialogues of his life were captured by his most famous student, Plato, and also by the warrior historian Xenophon. Mark Forstater's clear, insightful book draws from both Plato and Xenophon to create a new and fully rounded portrait of this revered philosopher. Unfolding the wisdom that inspired Plato's influential Dialogues, this title reveals Socrates' powerful morality and purpose allied with a sharp, playful sense of humour.
