Description
Socrates in Love: The Making of a Philosopher by Armand D'Angour explores the life story of Socrates, whose questioning gave birth to Western thought. However, little is known about his early life, which begins with his middle age and ends with his trial and death. This revisionist biography draws on neglected sources to reveal the passions and motivations that transformed young Socrates into a philosopher. It shows how love played a significant role in shaping his ideas, finally uncovering the identity of the woman who inspired him to develop concepts that have captivated thinkers for 2,500 years. By shedding new light on Socrates' formative journey, this book provides a fresh perspective on one of history's most influential figures.
