Publisher Description
Christopher Taylor introduces the life and philosophy of Socrates, whose work has played a central role in shaping Western philosophical thinking for centuries. Examining what we can deduce about Socrates from the writings of his contemporaries (as he himself left none), Taylor traces the reception and influence of his thought to the modern day.
Customer Reviews
One of the dullest books I ever reed
I am not a philosophy major, just a curious reader wants to learn more about Greek philosophy and Socrates, Plato, Aristotle. T The author wrote the book almost like creating a research paper. It is unreadable if you are not aware of the quite a few references he made, and books he mentioned you are lost. This is not a short introduction but a summary of references about Socrates. This book is definitely not for a regular person who is curious to learn more about Socrates. Really disappointed.
