Philosophy 101 By Socrates

Product Description

Philosophy means "the love of wisdom". Popular author and Boston College philosophy professor, Peter Kreeft, uses the dialogues of Socrates in this book to help the reader grow in that love of wisdom. He says that no master of the art of philosophizing has ever been more simple, clear, and accessible to beginners as Socrates. He focuses on Plato's dialogues, the Apology of Socrates, as a living example to imitate, and a model partner for the reader to dialogue with. Kreeft calls it "the Magna Carta of philosophy", a timeless classic that is "a portable classroom".

This is not a book of technical, textual, or historical scholorship about Socrates, but rather an act of philosophizing. It can be used by individuals or in the classroom.
