Resumen del Editor

You've come to the right place to learn about life and philosophy. Socrates is perhaps the most celebrated of all ancient philosophers. Credited as a founder father of Western philosophy, he is well known for his dialogues with his students and for thinking in terms of ethics and morals. He was also the mentor of other famous Greek philosophers, such as Plato and Xenophon. Socrates was an honest thinker that wanted his students to think of the answers themselves, instead of having the teacher provide the solution. He was also a strong advocate of justice. He took his last stand by accepting Athenian law of being sentenced to death, instead of fleeing for his life. Socrates is truly a remarkable human being worth examining.

In this book, we will discover who Socrates was, what he stood for, and the lessons the taught us throughout his life time. His concepts of virtues will be discussed in full detail, and his best theories will be explained once and for all.

Cringe worthy

I couldn't get through chapter 3. There may be some good basic information here about Socrates, but it reads like a high school research project with grammar to match. The performer seems fine, but I just kept wondering how he managed to keep sounding professional and not break into a rant about having to read such poorly constructed, poorly edited writing.

Off the track

The stories about, Socrates were interesting, but the writer gets off the track and puts his own philosophy, opinions and viewpoints into this book. When he did that, he completely lost me and made a potentially good book into a rambling on his social slant.
