    <body><![CDATA[Recommended by good reader and sartorial wunderkind Mark G, The Last Days of Socrates is an excellent book.  I wish I had read this book during high school or my first year in college as I think I could have made use of it in evangelistic conversations.  Living 500 years before the birth of Christ, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2650516">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Have I ever mentioned that I love Socrates? Well, I do. The dialogues written by Plato about his teacher are my favorite of all philosophy from that era. Yes, I like Plato, too. And Aristotle isn't too bad. But, for me, there's only one philosopher: Socrates. I find his dialogues inspiring.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of my favorite texts from the ancient world. Aside from his sexism, I think Socrates has THE philosophy for living the good life. I only hope I can do what he does and follow my own conscience if and when my life is at stake.]]></body>
