PAPERBACK
|
by Emily R. Wilson

Fearlessly, Socrates confronted those in power with the truth. As a powerful symbol of free speech, his death has left an indelible mark on Western thought throughout history, acting as a significant inspiration for figures such as Plato, Nietzsche, and Martin Luther King.
This thorough review of philosophy and politics, conducted by the acclaimed classicist and translator Emily Wilson, dissects the most persistent and complex queries in ancient philosophy, including the question of how democracies address dissent and whether our current societies can accommodate complete freedom of speech and thought.
