About this course

According to Cicero, Socrates was the first who called philosophy down from heaven and forced it to make inquiries about human affairs. To the extent that this is true, Socrates was a founder of political philosophy, a mode of inquiry that had profound effects in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic worlds. This course will focus on the change effected by Socrates and as such it will be an introduction to a Socratic education.
