Description
يمثل هذا الكتاب مغامرة فكرية تقوم على مراجعة دقيقة وشاملة للثقافة الكلاسيكية والفكر الفلسفي الإغريقي من أجل الحرية بمعناها العام، حرية التفكير والتعبير، بالوقوف أمام محاكمة سقراط والسؤال: ما الكيفية التي أدت إلى وقوع هذا الحادث؟ وما الجوانب الخفية في القصة ؟ وما طبيعة الصراع بين سقراط وقادة الديمقراطية والطبقة الوسطى ؟ ما الذي لم يقله لنا افلاطون ؟ كيف تنكرت اثينا لنفسها ؟ هذه التساؤلات وغيرها تستمد جذورها من اعتقاد يؤكد أنه ليس هناك مجتمع خيّر مهما كانت مقاصده ومزاعمه، إذا لم يكن رجاله ونساؤه قادرين على التعبير بحرية عما يدور داخل عقولهم
In 1971 angina pectoris forced Stone to cease publication of the Weekly. After his retirement, he decided to return to the University of Pennsylvania, whence he had dropped out years before & earn his degree in Classical Languages. He successfully learned ancient Greek & wrote a book about the prosecution & death of Socrates, The Trial of Socrates, in which he argued that Socrates wanted to be sentenced to death in order to shame the Athenian democracy, which he despised.
In unraveling the long-hidden issues of the most famous free speech case of all time, Stone ranges far & wide over Roman as well as Greek history to present an engagingly rewarding introduction to classical antiquity & its relevance to society today. The New York Times called this national best-seller an "intellectual thriller."
