Customer Reviews

One of the best contemporary books on philosophy.

This book succeeds in bringing out the very core of Socrates' philosophy and makes a powerful case for its importance for our time. When I first picked up the book, I thought that it was overly ambitious. But I am very impressed by the subtelty and rigor with which it shows how Plato answers Nietzsche and Rorty. Anyone who wishes to know what the philosophes actually know should read it. It may be the best book about Socrates or Plato in the last twenty five years.
