Very enjoyable short listen
Published by Blackstone Audio in 2009.
Read by Robert Whitfield
Duration: 90 minutes
This unabridged lecture on Socrates covers all of the major aspects of the life of the famed Ancient Greek philosopher including his personal life, his military career (he served with distinction as a hoplite, the Athenian equivalent of a buck private), the sordid story of his execution by the government of Athens, his influences, who he influenced, his impact, both good and bad, on Western society and more. Throw in the entertaining (and surprisingly approachable considering it is about philosophy) text and the great delivery by narrator Robert Whitfield and this short little audiobook is a well worth listen.
I rate this audiobook 5 stars out of 5. It can be found on Amazon.com here: Socrates In 90 Minutes.
