The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers
by Eric Weiner
“‘Socrates’ is a stand-in for the kind of philosophy that I was interested in, that I write about, which is a practical, therapeutic, accessible philosophy. It was Cicero who famously said of him that he called philosophy down from the heavens and introduced it into people’s homes. That’s what I’m trying to do.”
Bestselling author Eric Weiner talked to our philosophy editor, Nigel Warburton, about ‘Life-Changing Philosophy Books‘
