Book
Hardcover. Condition: new. Le Bras, Yann (illustrator). Hardcover. At its most basic, philosophy is about learning how to think about the world around us. It should come as no surprise, then, that children make excellent philosophers! Naturally inquisitive, pint-size scholars need little prompting before being willing to consider life's "big questions," however strange or impractical. Plato & Co. introduces children--and curious grown-ups--to the lives and work of famous philosophers, from Descartes to Socrates, Einstein, Marx, and Wittgenstein. Each book in the series features an engaging--and often funny--story that presents basic tenets of philosophical thought alongside vibrant color illustrations. "Tell us, Delphic Oracle, who is the wisest man in all of Greece?" So begins The Death of Socrates. No mortal man is wiser than Socrates, who, on his daily walks through Athens, talks to all the people he meets. When the person he talks to takes himself to be very wise, Socrates asks so many questions that the person ends up admitting he knows nothing. When he runs into people who know little, Socrates sets them on the way to wisdom. But not everyone shares Socrates's love for the truth. When the people of Athens become angry with him for his ceaseless questioning, how will he find the courage to continue to speak the truth? Plato & Co.'s clear approach and charming illustrations make this series the perfect addition to any little library. On his daily walks through Athens, Socrates talks to all the people he meets. Know yourself! Do not chase after riches, become a philosopher and strive for truth! The citizens of Athens hate him for that. They arrest him and drag him to court. He is condemned to death by drinking a cup of poisonous hemlock. What should he do should he flee? Should a philosopher fear death? Based on Plato s "Apology of Socrates," "Crito" and "Phaedo," this book tells the story of Socrates, touching in a Socratic, i.e. playfully maieutic way on many central issues of philosophy as death, friendship, truth-speaking and rebellion. The book series Plato & Co. tells stories about the lives and thoughts of great philosophers. Addressing children as well as adult readers, it brings them into contact with philosophy by giving colorful insights into the vastness of thinking, questioning and puzzling. Each volume offers a gripping story, funny anecdotes, deep thoughts and thrilling illustrations."
