Description
In Words Aptly Spoken: Socratic Dialogues, listen as Socrates and others discuss virtue, education, patriotism, and more. Used in Classical Conversations' Challenge II, Socratic Dialogues introduces students to a classic form of Greek discussion and prompts them to ask questions that will shape the way they pursue knowledge and truth with their neighbors.
Rich conversations, revelations, and integrations will develop as students appreciate the art of dialogue and wrestle with questions as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. In Crito, on the eve of his execution, Socrates dialogues with a friend about a citizen's responsibilities to the law and the state. In Meno, Socrates explores the nature of virtue with Meno (and the reader). What is virtue? Can it be taught?
This book includes:
- Two Socratic dialogues, Crito and Meno
- Review and thought questions
- Original introduction and footnotes
