The In Love Socrates. The Story of the Birth of European Philosophical Thought

Socrates is a genius thinker and one of the creators of European philosophy. This is how he was captured in Plato's dialogues, and this is how we know him to this day. But what kind of person truly hides behind this name? Are we familiar with the real Socrates? Professor Arman D’Angur offers a new perspective on the life of the philosopher. The Socrates that the author reintroduces to us is a Socrates tormented by experiences and passions, a courageous warrior, athlete, lover, and dreamer. In this complete and detailed biography of the most mysterious thinker of Antiquity, his journey is traced from a young man who first experienced love and tasted knowledge to a mature man whose ideas defined the course of European philosophical thought for centuries to come. This book is published in Russian in two series titled "Inventing the Philosopher: The In Love Socrates" (series "Persona") and "The In Love Socrates: The Story of the Birth of European Philosophical Thought" (series "Historical Interest").
