THE FATHERS OF PHILOSOPHY: SOCRATES, PLATO, AND ARISTOTLE

This three-book series explores the life, work, and impact of the three most influential philosophers in history: Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Through a chronological and thematic journey, each volume delves into the revolutionary ideas that laid the foundation of Western thought.

The first book focuses on Socrates, the master who challenged Athens with his dialectical method and relentless pursuit of truth, culminating in his trial, execution, and the enduring legacy of his teachings.

The second volume examines the work of his disciple Plato, who elevated philosophy with his Theory of Forms, his vision of justice, and his influential concept of the philosopher-king.

The third book concludes the trilogy with Aristotle, the thinker who broke away from his teacher Plato to construct a system based on logic and observation, establishing the principles of science, ethics, and politics that continue to shape intellectual history.

This series is an essential read for those seeking to understand the origins of philosophy and its lasting influence on human knowledge. With an accessible yet rigorous approach, each volume presents the evolution of thought from Socratic maieutics to Aristotelian logic, demonstrating how these ideas remain relevant today.

An intellectual journey to the very roots of rational thought, inviting readers to reflect on the great questions that have shaped our understanding of the world.
