Socrates in 90 Minutes by Paul Strathern

Anaxagoras is believed to have been Socrates’ teacher.

In Greek Philosopher means lover of wisdom.

This book is a quick study of the Philosopher and gives you a lot of interesting information about him. It also shows you Socrates the person (how he spent his days).

Socrates was pronounced “the wisest of men” by a Delphic Oracle, his famous response; “I know nothing except the fact of my own ignorance”. He never wrote anything down. What we know of his philosophy was written by others especially Plato.

A lot of the ideas that we think are new (New Age) are old as dirt. Parmenides of Elea, from early 5th century BCE, believed the world as we know it is merely an illusion.
