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.

Socrates presents a compelling case for some life-changing conclusions that follow from a close reading of Socrates' arguments.

Offers a highly original study of Socrates and his thought, accessible to contemporary readers
Argues that through studying Socrates we can learn practical wisdom to apply to our lives
Lovingly crafted with humour, thought-experiments and literary references (from the Iliad to Harry Potter), and with close reading sof key Socratic arguments
Aids readers with diagrams to make clear complex arguments

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