Description

The unexamined life is not worth living, according to the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates. Yet, we often speak of 'the Socratic method' without truly understanding its demands. In Open Socrates, Agnes Callard delves deeper into Socrates' thought than any modern writer has, revealing the method's true ambition: to reveal what one human being can be to another. By engaging with others to answer our own questions, we can make progress in tackling life's most intractable issues, such as the nature of romantic love and the right way to think about one's own death.
