Krátky popis
An innovative and insightful exploration of the passionate early
life of Socrates and the influences that led him to become the
first and greatest of philosophersSocrates: the philosopher whose
questioning gave birth to the ideas of Western thought, and whose
execution marked the end of the Athenian Golden Age. Yet despite
his pre-eminence among the great thinkers of history, little of his
life story is known. What we know tends to begin in his middle age
and end with his trial and death.Our conception of Socrates has
relied upon Plato and Xenophon - men who met him when he was in his
fifties and a well-known figure in war-torn Athens. There is
mystery at the heart of Socrates' story: what turned the young
Socrates into a philosopher? What drove him to pursue with such
persistence, at the cost of social acceptance and ultimately of his
life, a whole new way of thinking about the meaning of existence?
In this revisionist biography, Armand D'Angour draws on neglected
sources to explore the passions and motivations of young Socrates,
showing how love transformed him into the philosopher he was to
become. What emerges is the figure of Socrates as never previously
portrayed: a heroic warrior, an athletic wrestler and dancer - and
a passionate lover.Socrates in Love sheds new light on the
formative journey of the philosopher, finally revealing the
identity of the woman who Socrates claimed inspired him to develop
ideas that have captivated thinkers for 2,500 years.
