Socrates is a brilliant thinker and one of the creators of European philosophy. So he was captured in the dialogs of Plato, and so we know him to this day. However, what kind of person was actually hiding behind this name? Are we familiar with the real Socrates? Professor Arman d’angur offers to look from a new angle at the life of a philosopher. Socrates, which the author again opens for us, is Socrates, tormented by experiences and passions, a brave warrior, an athlete, a lover and a dreamer.

In this complete and detailed biography of the most mysterious thinker of antiquity, his path is traced from a young man, who first know love and tasted knowledge, to a mature husband, whose ideas determined the course of European philosophical thought for an age ahead. This book is published in Russian in two episodes under the names “Inventing the philosopher: in love with Socrates” (series “Person”) and “Love Socrates: The History of the Birth of European Philosophical Thought” (series “Historical interest”).
