Thought provoking

The narrator has a subtle and calming voice, a good supplement to a book or Kindle version.

through words and tones

Socrates gives a defense of himself and how he lived before his fellow Athenians. The actor does a marvelous job and paints a very vivid picture with his tones, inflections, and other tools of voice acting.

This is an outstanding book.

This book will teach you a lot about life; from one of the most outstanding masters of Western philosophy you will see and learn that there were more morals and ethics in those centuries that you will find now.

Difficult to judge

So many of the arguments seem so elementary... It's disappointing that the ancient Greeks were actually not that impressive.
