*Open Socrates: The Case for a Philosophical Life*


That is the new Agnes Callard book, very good, self-recommending.

I would say my views on some of these issues are different.  In my vision, Socrates is a weak interlocutor and Plato is the real genius.  Plato also does not identify with Socrates per se, but rather is teaching us how to deal with a multiplicity of perspectives.  In any case, this is the latest — and the best in a long time — case for leading a philosophic life, which to Callard means a life centered around philosophic dialogue with others.  It also will start a whole new and much needed dialogue on what a philosophic life really means.  You can buy it here, it is sure to be a big hit.  Here is an NYT review.
