The Memorabilia Recollections of Socrates Xenophon Books
One can see how the Roman society used the Greek philosophy to form Christian ideals when it absorbed the Jewish following of Jesus as the Messiah. It also shows how our thought has not progressed too far from those deep thinking savants of Greek culture almost 3 millennia ago.Product details

The Memorabilia Recollections of Socrates Xenophon Books Reviews
This is not a book to read from cover to cover. Rather, when you feel like pondering over the mysteries of life, open it randomly and read a few lines. Then ponder over them. Absolutely amazing what you might come up with. A must to have companion...
I like very good products.
Good book
The teaching and events that took place has left me with wonders as to the progress of humanity. Many will say we progress, but in reality not much has change if so it was just a tad.
I downloaded this book for free - and the translator goes out of his way to highlight other people's views on diffcult sentences to translate.
Regarding the origibal author's texts, General Xenophon, a student and liftetime friend of Socrates, presents a very down to earth Socrates, and gives his account of many of the teachings and important conversations of Socrates with various others. I felt I know Socrates much better as a result of reading The Memorabilia...... well worth 2 or 3 hours of anyone's time. Highly Recommended.
Socrates, can't know enough about him. If you feel that way, you'll want to read this as well as Plato's accounts of him.
Xenophon gives a different look at Socrates than what is brought forward from the dialogues of Plato. One gets a far greater sense of Socrates' drive for living a virtuous life, and the temperance he exercised towards life that enabled him to avoid the traps of pleasure that keep most of us from achieving the greatest happiness of all. And as far as Xenophon could observe, Socrates' life of virtue and piety allowed Socrates to be 'the happiest and most contented man Xenophon had ever known. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand the basis of all of Western philosophy, and of life. It has been said that Western Philosophy is just a footnote to the ideas exemplified by the life of Socrates as observed through the works of Xenophon and Plato.
One can see how the Roman society used the Greek philosophy to form Christian ideals when it absorbed the Jewish following of Jesus as the Messiah. It also shows how our thought has not progressed too far from those deep thinking savants of Greek culture almost 3 millennia ago.
