Ask me anything about Socrates

I’ll do my best to answer any questions you want to ask over the next couple of days. I’m not a professor of classics or philosophy. My book, How to Think Like Socrates, is written more from the perspective of a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist. But I’ve done quite a lot of research on Socrates so I’m happy to share whatever I’ve learned. You can post anything you want but here are some questions for all of you to help get the discussion started…

What might we learn from Socrates that’s relevant to coping with the moral and psychological challenges we face in the modern world?

What do you think we can learn from Socrates that we can’t learn from the Stoics, such as Marcus Aurelius?

What’s your favorite passage, saying, or image, from the Socratic dialogues?
