Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars regard Plato as the greatest philosopher of all time. Yet he was much more than a man with his head in the clouds. Plato grew up in a turbulent era. A violent civil war divided the Greeks. The turbulence carried over into his personal life. His beloved teacher, Socrates, was executed by the city of Athens. From the teachings of Socrates and his own experiences, Plato developed important theories about government, ethics, love, beauty—even reality. He founded what is probably the first university in the Western world. Plato risked imprisonment and death when he tried to put his political ideas into action. At one point he was almost sold into slavery. He left much for the world to contemplate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Edward Taylor was a British idealist philosopher and a prolific author, most widely known for his work on the philosophy of idealism and his scholarship of the ancient philosopher Plato. Taylor's book Plato's Biography of Socrates is one of several that he wrote over the course of his life detailing the phenomenal life of ancient philosopher, teacher, and mathematician Plato. In this book, Taylor explores the complex relationship between the famous Plato and his equally famous teacher Socrates and covers the dialogues between them at length. At his death, Plato left behind thirty-six dialogues and thirteen letters ascribed to Socrates which have since been used to teach a wide range of subjects including philosophy, ethics, rhetoric, logic, mathematics and religion. Known by many contemporary readers only as the famous student of Socrates, Taylor wanted to emphasize Plato's contributions to society as an ancient Greek philosopher, a mathematician and writer of philosophical dialogues - as well as the primary instructor of another famous philosopher, Aristotle, and founder of the Academy in Athens which was the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Plato's work with Socrates and later his work with Aristotle helped lay the foundations of the study of science and Western philosophy. Taylor's work as a scholar of Plato makes him an authoritative source on the life and times of the ancient philosopher, and he weaves together an intriguing book about both Plato and his mentor. Plato's Biography of Socrates is a wonderful book for those interested in exploring Plato, Socrates, and the overwhelming connection between these two great men. Their legacy alone makes this an interesting read, but this book is also great for any reader who is interested in philosophy and ancient philosophers.

Book excerpt: "We think the way we do because Socrates thought the way he did. His aphorism 'The unexamined life is not worth living' may have originated twenty-five centuries ago, but it is a founding principle of modern life. Socrates lived and contributed to a city that nurtured key ingredients of contemporary civilisation - democracy, liberty, science, drama, rational thought - yet, as he wrote nothing in his lifetime, he himself is an enigmatic figure. The Hemlock Cup gives Socrates the biography he deserves, setting him in the context of the Eastern Mediterranean that was his home, and dealing with him as he himself dealt with the world. Socrates was a soldier, a lover, a man of the people. He philosophised neither in grand educational establishments nor the courts of kings but in the squares and public arenas of Golden Age Athens. He lived through an age of extraordinary materialism, in which a democratic culture turned to the glorification of its own city; when war was declared under the banner of democracy; and, when tolerance turned into intimidation on streets once populated by the likes of Euripides, Sophocles and Pericles. For seventy years he was a vigorous citizen of one of the greatest capitals on earth, but then his beloved Athens turned on him, condemning him to death by poison. Socrates' pursuit of personal liberty is a vibrant story that Athens did not want us to hear, but which must be told."--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A clear and accessible introduction to philosophy’s first superstar” by the author of On Truth and Think, one of our great contemporary philosophers (Kirkus Reviews). Plato is perhaps the most significant philosopher who ever lived and The Republic, composed in Athens in about 375 BC, is widely regarded as his most famous dialogue. Its discussion of the perfect city—and the perfect mind—laid the foundations for Western culture and has been the cornerstone of Western philosophy. As the distinguished Cambridge professor Simon Blackburn points out, it has probably sustained more commentary, and been subject to more radical and impassioned disagreement, than almost any other text in the modern world. “A provocative companion to an essential text” (Publishers Weekly), Plato’s Republic explores the judicial, moral, and political ideas in The Republic with dazzling insight. Blackburn also examines The Republic’s influence and staying power, and shows why, from St. Augustine to twentieth-century philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Western thought is still conditioned by this most important, and contemporary, of books. “Plato’s Republic . . . which Blackburn rightly suggests is the first book to shake the world, is loaded with perennial questions that every generation must struggle with. How are we to live our lives? What is virtue and can it be taught? Are pleasure and good the same?”—The Independent “Philosopher Simon Blackburn has written a new book about The Republic, gently reminding those of us who have forgotten it why it remains so important. The book unquestionably belongs on anybody’s list of Books That Changed the World.”—NPR
