    I Also Recommend:

    A must-read for anyone interested in the love of wisdom!

    This book is one of the best introductions to Philosophy that I have ever come across. Peter Kreeft doesn't treat Socrates as some deceased, historical entity; Kreeft treats Socrates as though he were speaking face-to-face with us from the pages of the Apology. To be honest, it's a marvelous effect, and Kreeft really instills in you a longing for truth and a chance to practice the Socratic method with anyone you might come across. Highly, highly recommended.

    Excellent, but short on Ethics

    Once again Peter Kreeft has done an excellent job writting on popular topics. Hopefully this is not the end of his great books!
