Omschrijving

He wrote nothing, yet his ideas are the bedrock of Western thought. He claimed to know nothing, yet an oracle declared him the wisest man alive. Who was Socrates?

For 2,500 years, the enigmatic figure of Socrates has challenged us to question everything—our beliefs, our leaders, and most of all, ourselves. He is the original gadfly, the humble stonecutter who turned philosophy from the study of the stars to the study of the soul. But how do we know a man who left no writings behind?

From The Philosophy School, Socrates: A Beginner's Guide is your essential introduction to the life and mind of this monumental thinker. This guide unravels the mystery of Socrates, exploring his world through the eyes of those who knew him best and feared him most. This is not just a history lesson; it is a practical toolkit for thinking more clearly and living more deliberately.

Inside this foundational guide, you will:

Unravel the Socratic Problem: Discover how we piece together the real Socrates from the accounts of Plato, Xenophon, and others. Master the Socratic Method: Learn the art of powerful questioning that dismantles false certainty and leads to genuine insight—a tool used today in law, therapy, and leadership. Live the Examined Life: Grasp the full weight of his famous declaration that "the unexamined life is not worth living" and apply it to your own journey. Unlock His Core Teachings: Explore profound ideas like "Virtue is Knowledge" and why Socrates believed no one does wrong willingly. Witness the Trial of the Century: Understand the true reasons behind the charges of impiety and corruption that led to his death, a pivotal moment for democracy and free thought.

Socrates offers no easy answers, only better questions. This book invites you not just to learn about philosophy, but to engage in it.
