A book about a smart guy (Socrates) who asked really good questions about how to live well. He lived in Athens, Greece, over two thousand years ago. He valued wisdom and virtue over wealth and entertainment, believing the former are necessary to live the good life.
Plato, his most famous student, spread his teachings. Socrates is considered the father of Western philosophy. Philosophy is the study of life’s most important questions, including: What is real and true? How do we know what we know? How ought we to live?
The book contains stories, questions, and answers between Socrates and others about holiness, the good life, justice, and the soul.
