Descrizione
Ineke Sluiter delves into the life and legacy of a towering figure in Western philosophy, exploring the complexities of Socrates. As a master and mentor to Plato, Socrates’ influence permeated the philosophical landscape, shaping the foundational ideas that underpin modern thought. His commitment to questioning and dialogue challenged the status quo, inspiring a generation of thinkers and inviting all to engage in critical reflection.
Despite his profound impact, Socrates faced dire consequences for his beliefs. Accused of corrupting the youth of Athens and impiety, he was sentenced to death, standing steadfast in his principles until the end. Sluiter illustrates the tension between philosophical inquiry and societal norms, highlighting the courage it takes to speak truth to power.
The narrative invites readers to reflect on the enduring relevance of Socratic philosophy in today's world. Through vivid storytelling and rigorous analysis, the book reveals not only the man behind the myth but also the principles that continue to resonate within contemporary discourse. Socrates emerges as a figure of both historical significance and timeless wisdom.
