In her book "Socrates," American author Cora Mason takes us on an exciting journey into the world of "Socrates," not as a philosopher devoid of his emotions and personal experiences, but as a human being of flesh and blood, who lived in a specific time and place, and interacted with his society with all its challenges. And contradictions. Mason sheds light on the "personal side" of Socrates' life, delving into his inner world and revealing the motives and experiences that shaped his thought and behavior. Through the lines of the book, we discover an exceptional human being who was able to break free from the restrictions of his society, ask questions without fear, express his opinions without hesitation, and obey the law without humiliation or surrender.
