Socratesâ Way: Seven Masterkeys to Using Your Mind to the Utmost
Socrates of Athens, who lived before the Common Era, is respected as one of the greatest independent thinkers of all time. Socrates himself refused to be recognized as a teacher. Instead, Plato, his well-known student and reporter of Socratesâ dialogues, tells us he asked to be seen as a âmidwife of ideas.â Socratesâ passion to achieve self-understanding, and the proper ways to live, continues to be studied and emulated to this day. mom
Socrates recommends âThe Trojan Women,â by Euripides. Ron Gross recommends âThe Clouds,â by Aristophanes.
