Bleak Political Implications of Socratic Religion

This book poses a radical challenge to the legend of Socrates bequeathed by Plato and echoed by scholars through the ages: that Socrates was an innocent sage convicted and sentenced to death by the democratic mob, for merely questioning the political and religious ideas of his time.

Aceasta carte pune o provocare radicala la legenda lui Socrate lasata mostenita de Platon si repetata de eruditi de-a lungul veacurilor: ca Socrate a fost un intelept nevinovat condamnat si condamnat la moarte de multimea democratica, doar pentru a pune la indoiala ideile politice si religioase din timpul sau.
