Ok, so I'm reading "The Hemlock Cup - Socrates, Athens and the Search for a Good Life" by B Huges. If you're like me you are only VAGUELY aware of Socrates ... wasn't he like some guy from Greece, or something? But who of us know all that much of the style and contribution of one of the greatest philosophical minds of any time?
So, so far I'm enjoying the book. It's by a historian, and she tries to place us in ancient Athens and give us pause to think about minor things like...I dunno...Democracy, maybe?
Check back. I'll know more later
