The author retraces the journeys of forefront intellectuals from Epicurus and Gandhi to Thoreau and Beauvoir to illuminate how their practical and spiritual lessons can be applied in today's unsettled world. Eric Weiner combines his twin passions for philosophy and global travel in a pilgrimage that uncovers surprising life lessons from philosophers around the world, from Marcus Aurelius to Arthur Schopenhauer, Confucius to Montaigne. Traveling by train (the most thoughtful mode of transport) he traversed thousands of miles, making stops in Athens, Delhi, Massachusetts, Coney Island, Frankfurt, and points in between, to recapture philosophy's original purpose: teaching us how to lead wiser, more meaningful lives. From Socrates and ancient Athens to Simone de Beauvoir and twentieth century Paris, Weiner's chosen places and thinkers provide important signposts as we navigate today's chaotic times.

Penulis buku bestseller versi New York Times, The Geography of Bliss, Eric Weiner, melakukan perjalanan intelektual yang berliku, mengikuti jejak para pemikir besar dalam sejarah dan menunjukkan kepada kita bagaimana para filsuf—dari Epicurus hingga Gandhi, Thoreau hingga Beauvoir—menawarkan kearifan serta kebijaksanaan praktis dan spiritual untuk masa-masa ambyar seperti sekarang. Kita kembali berfilsafat dengan alasan yang sama ketika kita berkelana: melihat dunia dari sudut pandang yang berbeda, menggali keindahan yang terkubur, dan menemukan cara baru menjelaskan keberadaan kita. Kita ingin mempelajari cara merenung. Menghadapi penyesalan. Meneguhkan harapan. Di dalam The Socrates Express ini, Weiner mengajak kita berkelana bersamanya, pada perburuan kebijaksanaan yang mengubah hidup dan menemukan jawaban atas perenungan-perenungan paling penting.

In The Socratic Paradox and Its Enemies, Roslyn Weiss argues that the Socratic paradoxes—no one does wrong willingly, virtue is knowledge, and all the virtues are one—are best understood as Socrates’ way of combating sophistic views: that no one is willingly just, those who are just and temperate are ignorant fools, and only some virtues (courage and wisdom) but not others (justice, temperance, and piety) are marks of true excellence. In Weiss’s view, the paradoxes express Socrates’ belief that wrongdoing fails to yield the happiness that all people want; it is therefore the unjust and immoderate who are the fools. The paradoxes thus emerge as Socrates’ means of championing the cause of justice in the face of those who would impugn it. Her fresh approach—ranging over six of Plato’s dialogues—is sure to spark debate in philosophy, classics, and political theory. “Regardless of whether one agrees or disagrees with Weiss, it would be hard not to admire her extraordinarily penetrating analysis of the many overlapping and interweaving arguments running through the dialogues.”—Daniel B. Gallagher, Classical Outlook “Many scholars of Socratic philosophy . . . will wish they had written Weiss's book, or at least will wish that they had long ago read it.”—Douglas V. Henry, Review of Politics
