SOCRATES-A LIFE WORTH LIVING
Εκδότης Seven Stories Press , ISBN 9781644212615
Socrates: A Life Worth Living traces the life and ideas of one of Western Civilization's founding
philosophers, whose influence is still felt more than two thousand years later. Socrates is famous for how
he died, executed by the Athenian government for corrupting the youth of Athens, but his most
important contribution was to challenge the people around him to test their ideas and beliefs in
conversation with each other, in the belief that in this way we could become a society that knows the
difference between truth and falsehood, and find what makes a life worthwhile. He did not claim to have
definitive answers, but he knew that knowledge was the key to finding them, and he invited everyone he
met to join him in his quest.
The Socratic Method is the first, and still the best, method for distinguishing truth from falsehood.
In Socrates: A Life Worth Living, award-winning author Devra Lehmann gives us the first biography for
young readers of the thinker who has seen no equal.
