Do You Wonder What Greek Philosophy Was All About? Are You Curious to Find Out?

This book of 3 essays will give you an introduction to ‘real’ Greek philosophy, and demonstrate that it is an important subject for us today - offering many ‘tips’ about how to live our lives in the best and happiest way. The philosophy of Socrates and Plato was not just an ‘intellectual’ subject discussing abstruse or vague ideas; but in great part it was a very practical subject.

Socrates’ essential tip of Know Yourself is the first essay, after which some common themes in Plato’s writings about Socrates are discussed. Plato’s wonderful book The Phaedrus is also explored, giving readers extra insights to this very important and readable book of Plato with its unusual myths, stories and explanations.

(NOTE: The 3 essays within this book also appear in a later book with 6 essays on Greek Philosophy – available as eBook, paperback or audio book. The new book has 3 more essays titled: Aristotle’s Practical Philosophy and the Importance of Happiness; Plato’s Book The Phaedo; Walking the Walk and The Socratic Philosophical Life Today.

5つ星のうち5.0 Excellent Introduction

This book achieves exactly what it sets out to do in the title; it represents a fantastic introduction to Socrates and Plato (and philosophy in general) for young travellers. It is exceedingly well written, concise and easy to follow, unlike many other tomes on ancient philosophy which can be difficult for beginners to follow. Any book which makes you think is worthwhile, and this certainly achieves that. Although I'm a litlle older than the target audience of this work, I still found it a worthwhile read and would highly recommend it to people of all ages who are seeking an introduction to these philosophers. Excellent all round.

5つ星のうち5.0 Socrates and Plato tips for travellers
2015年4月28日に英国でレビュー済み

The style is conversational; the tone is modest; the contents compared to a good cup of coffee in Athens; the recipients, nominally student travelers to Greece with little or no experience of philosophy or either Socrates and Plato. He writes a friendly introduction, but actually recommends anyone reading Plato, who was Socrates’ friend and pupil, without reading the introductions first. The aim of the dialogues – the form that Plato used to present ideas, was to show that we can all become a little wiser regarding the way we see things and understand them, and very importantly, make our own mind up about them; hence philo – love, Sophia – wisdom.
We begin by asking questions, but we start off being ‘doubly ignorant’ by thinking that we know what the answers are – invariably what we have been told, and hence do not ask the questions, the answers to which would reveal that we do not know what we thought we did. Aristotle – Plato’s pupil, said that there was no point just being intellectually wiser, if it did not change the way we lived our lives. So philosophy has to be, and can be very practical.
The Academy which Plato founded in Athens ten years after Socrates’s death, was an educational institution for some 850 years. As an ex maths teacher he explains the similarity between maths and philosophy, in that it is taught through questioning, which of course is completely the opposite of the approach in a theological college, and the way many subjects that are fact-driven in our schools. Everyone wants to be good, and while there may be constraints imposed on us – such as economic ones, finding a more preferable way of living which gives us happiness and a sense of purpose, comes not without asking questions first. The first essay begins with the famous inscription at the Oracle at Delphi: Know Thyself. And begins with the young Alcibiades who thinks he knows everything, including himself, and ends up realizing that he knows nothing.
There is then what appears to be a digression, but is not, into the fact that there is a point in everyone’s lives where they feel they are looking for something, and it is something which has a spiritual dimension quite distinct from any kind of allegiance to a particular religion, but which does not exclude it. But our modern consumer society, and the media blurr everything. In order to use a map to travel somewhere, one has to know where one is to start with. There is a nice interweaving between the process Alciabides illustrates of inquiry, and the concept of the soul, and that Socrates at the end of his life, says in the Phaedo, that he does not know what will happen next but he will be at peace knowing that he has tried to live a good life.
The second essay begins with a simple introduction to Plato’s style, and that because he can be poetic, what he says does have more than one level of meaning, for poetry is polysemous by nature. This follows on to a discussion about how explicit was Plato in terms of what he actually knew, and in fact in the established religions there clearly is a reticence about writing down what has actually been discovered. Then there is a simple discussion of Plato’s main interests, metaphysics may provide the plausible but not provide the provable; then there is the sensible and intelligible distinction – is there another world, more substantially real than the one we perceive with our senses? The Myth of the Cave in the Republic gets a nice and simple exposition, as does the concept of forms. Then there is the concept of the soul (psyche in Greek), which is the exact opposite of how the religions conceive of it, our soul is our real being, and not the body which we identify with. Then finally the question or questions of ethics. The third essay concerns the Phaedrus.
Quite why this ‘book’ is only available in an e-version is a total mystery, for it is, exactly what it says on the cover, even if there is a pun..

5つ星のうち5.0 A philosophical guidebook for all

Here's an excellent book for people, young, old or in-between, to take with them on the road of life. The author does a great job of making it clear that philosophy does not have to be stuffy or boring, and that everyone can benefit from it. There are three essays, the first of which is a discussion of the importance of knowing yourself, and knowing where and what you are, so you can better navigate in life. Admitting you might be lost is not a cause for shame. The other two essays on Plato and the Phaedrus book are just as enlightening, and provide a wealth of food for thought.

If you are on the fence about buying this book or not, I would highly recommend you do! There is a certain thirst for knowledge in the young twenties, especially for the first few years after college. This book really helps satisfy that desire with three great essays. The author comes through in the writing which makes it unusually light and fun to read for such a topic. He brings about philosophy in a way that is not only interesting from a historic perspective, but also very relevant in your daily life. You will not regret this book!
