Description
Socrates On Trial by Nigel Tubbs explores the return of Socrates to a modern city plagued by prejudice and populism. In this thought-provoking work, Socrates is arrested, interrogated, and questioned by his prosecutors, Judge, and inquisitor before offering a new apology that will decide his fate. As Socrates engages with the city's cultural elements, including property, wealth, and identity, he unfolds a different logic of truth, freedom, and justice. This new vision of justice reconceptualizes the meaning and significance of thinking and education, drawing key cultural elements into its educational orbit. At stake is the vulnerability of modern democracy to authoritarian leaders. Socrates On Trial heralds a new education for such a city, one that seeks to revive belief in truth and education amidst exhaustion and fatigue. This book offers a compelling vision for a more just society, one that prioritizes learning over mastery.
