How to think like Socrates : ancient philosophy as a way of life
Robertson, Donald, 1972-2026
Books
Socrates is the most famous ancient philosopher and the father of the entire Western philosophical tradition. He spent his life teaching practical philosophy to ordinary people in the streets of Athens, yet his work has largely been left to gather dust in academia - until now. 'How to Think Like Socrates' is an entertaining and informative primer on the life of the great thinker - and focuses on applying his ideas to our daily lives. Author Donald Robertson transports readers back to the streets of ancient Athens, expertly weaving together a page-turning account of the visionary man who eschewed material pleasures and stood by his beliefs, even in the face of controversy, with a steadfastness that ultimately resulted in his execution.
