Socrates

One of the greatest philosophers in world history, while in his entire life he did not write a single philosophical treatise. The recognized sage (the Delphic oracle himself declared him the wisest of people!), He said to everyone "I know nothing". The poor man of the ugly appearance, constantly surrounded by a crowd of admirers - noble and rich young handsome men. A person is deeply religious, but sentenced to execution on official charges of godlessness. This is Socrates. Everyone probably heard about him, and his biography is well known. However, its activities and in many respects paradoxical teaching give rise to many puzzles.
In the book on the famous Athenian, an antique specialist, Doctor of Historical Sciences I.E. Surikov makes an attempt to raise the veil of secrets over the complex and contradictory figure of the hero (although Socrates"s personality will forever remain incomprehensible in some ways).
