When the people of Athens become angry with him for his ceaseless questioning, how will he find the courage to continue to speak the truth? Plato & Co.'s clear approach and charming illustrations make this series the perfect addition to any little library. The problem came from the next 4 chapters which really failed to wow me. It allows me to quickly dive into the action. The first chapter was decent as it gave me a fight scene. But not everyone shares Socrates's love for the truth. Lore Review Lore starts off the way I feel most books do Dreadfully dull.

When he runs into people who know little, Socrates sets them on the way to wisdom. When the person he talks to takes himself to be very wise, Socrates asks so many questions that the person ends up admitting he knows nothing. No mortal man is wiser than Socrates, who, on his daily walks through Athens, talks to all the people he meets. 'Tell us, Delphic Oracle, who is the wisest man in all of Greece?' So begins The Death of Socrates. Each book in the series features an engaging-and often funny-story that presents basic tenets of philosophical thought alongside vibrant color illustrations. introduces children-and curious grown-ups-to the lives and work of famous philosophers, from Descartes to Socrates, Einstein, Marx, and Wittgenstein. It should come as no surprise, then, that children make excellent philosophers! Naturally inquisitive, pint-size scholars need little prompting before being willing to consider life's 'big questions,' however strange or impractical. At its most basic, philosophy is about learning how to think about the world around us. From the 1 New York Times best-selling author of The Darkest Minds comes a sweepingly ambitious, high-octane tale of power, destiny, love and redemption.
