Inventing the Philosopher. The Lovestruck Socrates

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