My tribute to Socrates.



 

Socrates was the greatest philosopher of all time.  He still is.  He happens to be one of my Guardian Angels, one of my best friends, and he sits on “The Council.”  God has given charge for the planning and guidance of the earth to “The Council.”

In this book, I have included additional background information about Socrates, and have included many of his sayings.  I doubt that you have read any of these before.



Excerpt

Socrates main goal seemed to be helping individuals achieve genuine self-knowledge, no matter what the outcome might be. For most of his life, he devoted himself to discussions with the aristocratic young citizens of Athens, insistently questioning their unwarranted confidence in the truth of popular opinions. For instance, he would ask parallel questions like, "Do my parents approve of this action because it is right, or is it right because my parents approve of it?" or "Does the College forbid this activity because it is wrong, or is it wrong because the College forbids it?” What other people said did not matter to him. The only opinion that counted was not that of the majority of people, but that of the one individual who truly knows. The truth alone deserved to be the basis for decisions about proper human action. The only approach was to engage in careful moral reasoning so one may hope to reveal it.

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin

Histories of the world are generally written to either celebrate technology and science, or to herald doom. My book examines the path of the spirit in the onward rush.
