Usher, M.D.

Wise Guy : The Life and Philosophy of Socrates. - New York : Farrar Straus Giroux, 2005.

Donated by Mrs. Bloom

"All I know is that I know nothing!" With this classic statement, uttered over two thousand years ago, Socrates set the standard for the future of Western philosophy. By day, Socrates soaked up the sun in the Athenian marketplace, where he'd converse for hours on end about the meaning of wisdom, right and wrong, courage, justice and love. By night, he feasted and danced with friends. He was charming, but not handsome, happy, but not rich.
