Socrates by George Rudebusch

Socrates by George Rudebusch

George Rudebusch's Socrates presents a compelling case for taking Socrates' arguments and wild conclusions seriously, not merely as abstract exercises in cross examining ideas of human excellence, but as a heavenly way for human beings to live.

"The book is well and lucidly written, with plentiful tables and diagrams and excerpts..She will have to be a bright student, because some of Rudebusch's arguments are quite subtle; but I, for one, would have no hesitation in recommending the book to such a student." ( The Heythrop Journal , 4 September 2013) "A lucid and engaging account of the philosophy of Socrates. ... The experience of this book will be joyous for many readers, as it was for me. Rudebusch's advocacy of Socrates as a thinker who has much to tell us about the good human life is carried off with passion and grace, as well as an enviable succinctness and clarity. It is a treatment that I expect will succeed, deservedly, in winning over new advocates." ( Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews , April 2010)

George Rudebusch is Professor of Philosophy at Northern Arizona University. He is the author of Socrates, Pleasure, and Value (1999).
