Product Description
Socrates thought that understanding the perspectives of others on six great questions about virtue, moderation, justice, courage, goodness and piety would help him become a more excellent human being. Following in Socrates' footsteps, Christopher Phillips looks at these questions. Beginning in Athens, he investigates the responses and outlooks of people around the world. Enlarging our perspective on life's fundamental questions, he creates an innovative survey of philosophy.
