Socrates was a plain man in both dress and manner. He possessed a sharp point of view that placed him in an unusual and sometimes challenging place in a society that did not appreciate individualism. Yet it was that individualism that made him so special.
Socrates was the teacher of young, receptive men of ancient Athens, Greece, and he was beloved by his students. His students Plato and Xenophon introduced the world to him and to his concepts and ideas. They wanted the world to understand who their great teacher Socrates was.
In book two of our series, Be A Great Thinker, we will examine Socrates's life and philosophies. We will focus on what made Socrates such a unique and dominant force and how his remarkable life and fascinating death changed the course of western philosophy.
What Socrates brought to the world was a new way to question everything. We will show you how he created critical thinkers through his methods while embracing individualism. His ideas have helped others to live their best life, and through this book, we will show you how his words still resonate in today's more complex world.
Take a journey with us into the thoughts and philosophy of Socrates and discover how this great teacher, a man who lived a couple of thousand years ago, still has a profound impact on today's impressionable minds.
