Çdo epoke i është dashur të rikrijojë Sokratin e saj, sepse Sokrati është sidoqoftë një figurë sfiduese, nxitëse dhe frymezuese. Shembulli më i zakonshëm i kësaj është se Sokrati përbën ende një sfidë për ata që i hyjnë filozofisë në veçanti dhe mendimit kritik sistematik në përgjithësi përmes shtëgut të dialogëve sokratikë. Edhe në një botë ku studimi i veprave klasike e ka humbur rëndësinë e dikurshme, janë të shumtë ata që i konsiderojnë këta dialogë, ku mungesa relative e gjuhës teknike edhe nga gjallëria e bisedës e bëjnë lexuesin të krijojë lidhjen e vet me tekstin, si hyrjen më të mirë në botën e filozofisë.… (mais)

I have said it before and I will say it again, the "A very short introduction" series of books is absolutely great. For a man with very few sources of information on his life, mainly Plato and Xenophon, this book did an incredible job at capturing who Socrates was as a man, as well as a bit on who he was as a philosopher. It touches a small bit on his philosophies, if you read this and it interests you I suggest you dive right in to Platonic dialogue.

This started out OK with a general discussion of the sources about Socrates and whether they are reconcilable to show us the historical figure behind the different accounts. This is followed by an in-depth discussion of Plato's earlier dialogues and then a quick guide on Socrates through the ages, focussed particularly on the 19th century.

There is no way that this is an "Introduction". I don't have a great knowledge of Plato's work but I do have some, and I found the central section discussing the chronology of the works and then the earlier dialogues in particular a real struggle. The last part focussed on Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche, who I freely admit I know very little of beyond their names. I understood very little of this section and ended up skimming my way through it.… (mais)

Socrates quest for wisdom and truth and his strategy to achieve it are well exposed by C. C. W. Taylor. The main features of Socrates think are presented with the diverses dialogues that it maintain with others greek thinkers and schools. His influence in the philosophies of his time and in future philosophers and schools of thought are mentioned, with specially attention to Hegel, Kierkegaard and Nietzsche. Usefull reading that help one understand some features of postmodern life.
