Philosopher and University of Chicago professor Agnes Callard brings us back to the days of Socrates, reviving his ideas for our time. While we call him the “father of Western philosophy,” what exactly are his philosophical views, and how can we use them to better our lives in the 21st century? In Open Socrates, Callard argues that the true goal of the famous “Socratic method” is to reveal what one human being can be to another. Callard is joined by scholar William Baud to discuss why Socrates’s ideas are still the way to a good life, giving us nothing less than a new ethics to live by.
