Sokrates - İroni İnfaz ve Etik

Socrates - Irony Execution and Ethics Book Description This book intends to provide a brief introduction to the life and philosophy of Socrates, the great thinker in the history of philosophy. It is a difficult task to follow the intellectual development of a great personality like Socrates, and Taylor undertakes this difficult task. The author presents an intellectual biography informed by three historical sources of Socrates: Plato, Aristophanes and Xenophon. It displays the atmosphere of the period in Socrates' Athens, his connection with Anaxagoras and Archelaus, and the place of Orphism and the Delphi Oracle at the turning points of his life. It tells the story of Young Socrates' 'sign' and 'permanent irony' returning to Mature Socrates as 'execution' by the hand of 'democracy'. Undoubtedly, Socrates was not just a martyr of philosophy. His doctrine of 'soul' and theory of 'ideas' shape our minds even today; The understanding of 'good' and 'virtue' lives with us. His Apology constitutes the first pages of the history of philosophy for 2500 years; It reminds us of the inseparability of truth and the philosopher. We present this valuable work of the British philosopher and antiquity expert Alfred Edward Taylor with the translation of Mukadder Erkan. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
