Socrates' Justice from Ancient Greece: How We Evolve to Nonviolence, Brotherhood and Lasting Peace

By Frank W. Ryan

Ryan's book, Socrates' Justice, is an interesting, stimulating and sometimes provocative meditation on a topic of worldwide interest, the quest for the Good that begins with Socrates and his student, Plato, in the western tradition of philosophizing. The book is not (just) meant for academic or professional philosophers. Like Socrates' quest, it is aimed at the ordinary, ethically minded citizen seeking understandable answers to questions about what is good, what is bad, what justice is, and how and where we should go or what we should do to find those answers. Ryan doesn't pretend to have all the answers; his modestly sized book is a highly personal exploration and reflection on the paths that can lead to the Good, to Justice as they have been proposed by some of the great thinkers of the western world.
