Product description

I am not Athenians, nor Greek, but a citizen of the world. Socrates At the end of the fifth century BC, a great and noble man appeared in Athens who began a moral revolution there that caused a strong shock to the Greek spirit... To this man... to his life and ideas, we turn in this book. Socrates will remain a mystery, as he was in his life, as one of the philosophers who influenced the complete change in the perspective on philosophy. The ink of philosophers, writers, historians, and authors of all kinds will not stop from returning to "the wise Socrates," drawing from his philosophy, wisdom, and life the ink for writings all agreeing on presenting him as a model for elevating the values of knowledge, ethics, courage of stance, independence, and practicing independent thinking... Whatever has been said about Socrates, in its diversity and differences, the puzzling aspect of his personality remains the difficulty of distinguishing the historical Socrates from Socrates in the texts written about him, as Socrates' personalities multiply with the reading of this character. Every era, and every cultural transformation produces its own Socrates. And although everything we have about Socrates was transmitted, his trial and manner of death remain a foundational legend for the philosophical educational system, and in fact, the impact of that event extended beyond philosophy and persisted through the ages. His life, as well as his death, was a model example of philosophical life. In this book, we will look through three texts at Socrates' influence on philosophy and thought, especially through his trial, which represented a moral, philosophical, and human model.
