Question Everything: The Examined Life of Socrates

By Ray Divine
Timeless truths with a playful twist for today.
The life, teachings, and death of Socrates, the man whom many acclaim to be the world's greatest philosopher, presented with humor, to inform as well as entertain in a manner as creative and carefree as the man himself.
While on trial, sure of his innocence and convinced he was arraigned only out of jealousy, Socrates recounts his life with veracity and wit, painting his story in exciting, entertaining, and comedic ways... until the verdict takes a tragic turn. Despite the desperate protests of his friends, Socrates refuses to escape the bitter sentence.
Written Humorously, But With the Utmost Respect.
Ray Divine presents the life of Socrates as you've never experienced it before.
Although Socrates has often been parodied (Woody Allen, Steve Martin, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, etc.), this book chooses not to mock this fascinating man. Instead, it presents its comedy with admiration, awe, and appreciation for the philosopher who shaped the foundations of Western thought.
"I feel the humor, which is organic to the story, reflects the jovial nature of this great philosopher," says the author.
While Divine takes occasional poetic license, eschewing strict historical details in favor of storytelling clarity, it is always in the spirit of illuminating Socrates' unique, timeless brilliance. Capturing the spirit of the man, if not always the letter.
It's like if Aristophanes, Monty Python, and Plato's spirit all got together and wrote a novel!
A historical, hysterical biography. Rated PG-13. Not for young children.
Snippets:
"My advice?" said Socrates. "By all means, marry."
Both sighing, the young couple smiled,
Socrates returned their smile with a wry one of his own. "If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher."

[Crito]: "I come with the best news ever!"
Apollodorus brightened. "The court acquiesced and decided to set Socrates free?"
Crito slumped. "No. I come with the second best news ever."
Phaedo asked, "They've decided not to execute him?"
Crito slumped further. Not much further could he droop, without toppling off his new stool. "No. So maybe this isn't the best, or even the second best, news ever, but given the situation, this is as good as it gets." With renewed conciliation, Crito sat up tall to make his announcement.

"Sneak away? I shall not," said Socrates. "Even if convicted unjustly, a righteous person must respect the law."
Bam! Crito pounded the prison bars in frustration. "Don't be so selfish, Socrates! Think of me. If you die, people will think me too cheap to bribe the guards to let you escape."

Why is Socrates so fascinating?
Enjoy this book to discover for yourself!
Perhaps this rendition of his life, teachings, and death will shed new light on that ancient mystery.
Or maybe you'll just laugh a lot. Either way, you're bound to enjoy yourself.
Rediscover Socrates and his philosophy like never before.
Or perhaps... for the very first time.
A true treat indeed.
The Examined Life Was Never This Much Fun.
