Description
Socrates's greatest failure offers a profound question: can we teach ourselves and others to become better people? Massimo Pigliucci explores this 2,000-year-old inquiry through the story of Socrates and Alcibiades, alongside examples from Aristotle, Marcus Aurelius, and Machiavelli. He argues that with daily effort, ordinary individuals have the power to pursue the art of living well. Pigliucci examines what philosophy can teach us about virtue in today's world, drawing on a range of perspectives to shed light on the quest for personal growth and societal improvement. This thought-provoking book invites readers to reflect on their own values and aspirations, and consider how they can make a positive impact in their communities. By exploring the timeless wisdom of ancient philosophers, Pigliucci provides a timely and relevant guide to living well.
