Editorial Review Product Description Confront he does, in Peter Kreeft's next installment of the popular Socrates Meets series. Set in the afterlife, the conversation between the two great minds lays out the key issues. Kreeft's Socrates reflects what the historical philosopher would likely have made of Kant's ideas, while also recognizing the greatness, genius, and insightfulness of Kant. The result of their dialogues is a helpful, highly readable, even amusing book, useful for beginner as well as master. Kant's philosophy of knowing truly is a ''Copernican revolution in philosophy'' as he dubbed it. His ethics was intended to set out the rational grounds for morality. Did he achieve his goals? What would Socrates say about the matter? Dr. Kreeft has written a book no student of modern thought should be without. Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Product Description What is the good life for a human being? Aristotle’s exploration of this question in the Nicomachean Ethics has established it as a founding work of Western philosophy, though its teachings have long puzzled readers and provoked spirited discussion. Adopting a radically new point of view, Ronna Burger deciphers some of the most perplexing conundrums of this influential treatise by approaching it as Aristotle’s dialogue with the Platonic Socrates. Tracing the argument of the Ethics as it emerges through that approach, Burger’s careful reading shows how Aristotle represents ethical virtue from the perspective of those devoted to it while standing back to examine its assumptions and implications. “This is the best book I have read on Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics. It is so well crafted that reading it is like reading the Ethics itself, in that it provides an education in ethical matters that does justice to all sides of the issues.”—Mary P. Nichols, Baylor University Customer Reviews (1)

Editorial Review Product Description Just who was Socrates? Was he Plato's brilliant philosopher, at times confounding and infuriating, morally serious and yet ironic; the ever-worldly man, sometime mystic, and uncommon martyr? Or did Plato conflate Socrates' views with his own startling genius, as Aristotle suggests? Was Socrates instead the less impressive, more mundane man whose commonsense impressed the laconic Xenophon? Or could Socrates have been the charlatan, the long-winded phony of Aristophanes' Clouds? The Socratic works included in this volume add intriguing dimensions to the portrait of Socrates. Diogenes Laertius' Life of Socrates emphasizes the philosopher's deep ethical nature and his extraordinary personality; Libanius' Apology of Socrates is based on sources now lost to us; Maximus of Tyre 's Whether Socrates Did the Right Thing When He Did Not Defend Himself makes the startling claim (against Plato and Xenophon) that Socrates never actually spoke at his own trial; from Apuleius' On the God of Socrates we hear at length of Socrates' infamous daimonion: the 'divine sign' only mentioned elsewhere. In short, these four texts add new wrinkles to the already enigmatic historical figure of Socrates. Special Features The Unknown Socrates will appeal to philosophers and historians alike, as well as to those interested in the history of ideas.

Editorial Review Product Description PAIDEIA! What would happen if one of the most renowned figures of history,Socrates, came to New York and held a dialogue with threeintriguingNew Yorkers: a scientist, a professor of philosophy and a theologian? In this book, Socrates In New York, Socrates debates with three modernscholars concerning the timeless and universal philosophical questionssuch as the nature of Justice, Love, Freedom, Knowledge, and inparticular, God. Socrates reminds us that these enduring issues are as relevant,desirable, and applicable today in our modern scientific andtechnological environment, as they were in the philosophical days ofancient Greece. This book reveals the many similarities between Greek philosophy,based on the thinking of Socrates and Plato, and the One God-OldTestament theology of Hebrew thought. It connects the correspondingmessage of both Greek and Hebrew thinking to the New Testament life ofChrist. Although Socrates lived 2400 years ago, his ideas continue to permeatehuman thought even today. The historical account of his trial andexecution is the most widely read, following that of Jesus Christ. His words have stimulated the minds of many of the world's greatestfigures, from Plato to Nietzsche, Augustine to C.S. Lewis, Freud toMartin Luther King. Socrates' ideas were millenia ahead of his time, on issues such as theintellectual equality of the sexes, which places him as an honoredhero by women's rights advocates of today, or on his belief that theearth soins on its axis. The personalities of the characters Spock, McCoy and Captain Kirk, ofthe world renowned TV series Star Trek, are embodiments of his ideas,displaying Socratic philosophy not only to the intellectuals, but tothe public in general. Today, in SOCRATES IN NEW YORK, we will encounter something whichintellectuals for thousands of years have known with the help ofSocrates: The nature and reality of God. Customer Reviews (6)

IVE HEARD OF HERCULES IN NEW YORK WITH ARNOLD SWARZENEGGAR! READ THIS BOOK AT MY LOCAL COFFEESHOP. IT WAS GOOD. HARRY,
Socratese in New York
Just wonderful! Other books of interest may include: "Between Heaven and Hell" by Peter Kreeft. All of Kreeft's books are engaging in style and hearty in substance.To see the interaction between Christianity and classical culture, see "Christianity and Classical Culture" by Jaraslov Pelikan.Mortimer Adler's books are also helpful in discussing how to think about God, Life, Truth, etc. A short little book "Does God Exist?" by Moody is written in the trialogue style and is great at rejecting the silly, yet popular, arguments against God and gives the reader much to think about.In a more Christian line, the works of C.S. Lewis are great, and the classic by Bishop Kallistos Ware, "The Orthodox Way" is a great place to start if your interested in historic Christianity. "The Mystical Theology of the Eastern Church" by Vladimir Lossky will certainly reshape the old brain, too!Please check some of these out. Enjoy!
Totally Enlightening and Non-threatening The reader will find thetruth as it is written and provides some strong arguements in favor offaith, hope, and love... A clever piece of work indeed! A must read foranyone in search of God or "Higher Power". ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description What kind of literature is the Talmud? To answer this question, Daniel Boyarin looks to an unlikely source: the dialogues of Plato. In these ancient texts he finds similarities, both in their unique combination of various genres and topics and in their dialogic structure. But Boyarin goes beyond the typological parallelism between the texts, arguing also for a cultural relationship. In Socrates and the Fat Rabbis, Boyarin suggests that these dialogues are not dialogic at all. Using Michael Bakhtin’s notion of represented dialogue and real dialogism, Boyarin demonstrates, through multiple close readings, that the give-and-take in these texts is actually monologic in spirit. At the same time, he shows that there are other elements that manifest genuine dialogicality. Boyarin ultimately singles out Menippean satire as the most important genre with which to understand both the Talmud and Plato, pointing out their seriocomic peculiarity. An innovative contribution to rabbinic studies, Socrates and the Fat Rabbis makes a major contribution to scholarship on the discursive and cultural practices of the ancient Mediterranean. |
